Does anyone use an aftermarket rubber strap they can anyone recommend?

I have the DPIII at the moment and as nice as it looks, I find it uncomfortable when I sweat since it doesn't allow the skin to breathe.
Alot of moisture builds up especially on the case back and with the avenger being top heavy it just slides around my wrist.

I'm thinking to get this Hirsch Rubber Strap which claims to let the skin breathe, but not sure if Hirsch are any good.

Those Hirsch straps are pretty nice. http://www.isofrane.com/ Isofrane straps are great quality as well and a lot of people on the forum use those straps.
Have you checked out the Breitling Ocean Racer straps? They are softer that the DP1 and DP3 and the holes allow for great ventilation.

Another vote for Isofrane. I heard they have a couple new colors available but haven't seen them yet on their website.

And another vote for Isofrane. Certainly my favourite rubber straps, although you need to like the retro look to appreciate the style.

In terms of colours they do a military green one now in addition to the black, orange and blue versions. They've also created a couple of "specials" - a brown one for Aquadive to use on their bronze Bathyscaphe 100, and a turquoise one for Doxa on their NUMA 1200T, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure neither of those are available to the public unless you own the relevant watches.

But yes, Isofrane straps are superb.

Isofrane is the way to go.
