Hello all, I had been using the premium strap that came with my Garmin 500
but I had 2 fail on me in a year.

Then I switched to a Polar strap with the Garmin transmitter which seems to
get a lot of interference if my jersey flaps against the strap at all.
This happens on downhills and during racing. (I know I need tighter
clothes, I've lost 30 lbs.)

But anyway I'm fed up with these expensive crappy transmitters. Any
recommendations?

The hard plastic straps don't always fit my chest properly, the top of my
abs stick out (or my ribs are concave) so there's airspace where the
contacts are. I can usually turn it a bit so the one contact is at the
center of my chest and the other on the side of my chest.

But I just want something that WORKS.

Thanks.
