I use the Garmin premium soft strap. Some don't like them and have issues, others don't. I'm on my second strap now. The first lasted six or seven years, more than enough for me. Just rinse it off after every ride. Don't know about up there in Canada, but here in the US I was able to nab my second at Best Buy online for $50 US and pick up in store same day. My son was able to do the same last year.
