QuikFit nylon band?

Does anyone know of a decent QuikFit nylon band that fits the 5x? The rubber band causes a lot of sweat especially during hot weather and outdoor exercises, and I have a nylon band for my Apple watch that is very comfortable, and cool. I know this would be a third party band, and there's some real junk out there, so I'm asking here if anyone has one that is quality.
TIA

I’d be really interested in something like this as well. Something along the lines of BluShark bands maybe?

Here’s a site I found that have some nylon bands on it. I personally haven’t bought anything from it yet, so I can’t vouch for them.

Check it out.

I have the Clockwork Synergy NATO 2-piece on my 5x and like it a lot. Can't really use the single-piece (unless you're willing to lose the OHR!)

Those look to be decent bands, with nice prices, but they aren't the quick-fit type, they're the "pin" type, and I can get those just about anywhere. I'm looking for the Quik-Fit connectors on the bands. :-) Thanks for the site though, might eventually have to do something like that. I saw some "quik-fit" connectors that you put the pin type band on, to convert them to the quick-fit type band, but not excited about that appearance.

Do those have the quik-fit? I have purchased some Clockwork Synergy bands for my Apple Watch, they seem to be decent quality.

Which band from Clockwork do you have? I used them before on a Pebble and they are great! Did not know they would work on the Fenix 5X. Do you have a link?

thanks!

Unfortunately no, but I don't change bands so it didn't bother me. I just dealt with using the screw-pins (once) to change to it. I've yet to find a NATO-style strap with quick-fit ends.

For reference on longevity I bought this one at the same time as the watch (right at initial release) and it still both works and looks like new; no apparent wear or problems. Given the service life I've received from it and it's quite-inexpensive price if I ever do wear it out I'll just buy another one.

I had forgotten all about AliExpress, I finally bit for this one, we'll see what the quality looks like when it gets here. Got notice this morning that it had shipped.
