Does anybody know where I can get an extra long (probably velcro fastening)watchstrap / armband to allow me to wear my GPS watch on the outside of my jacket. Cheers

MBUK did one on the front of the magazine about 1996, you could ask if someone would lend you one to make a copy.

If that's going to take too long:

Cheers MLC - Not sure they are going to be long enough though. I feel I may be getting the sewing machine out.

Seconding the NATO strap - most of the military ones are super long considering the wearer might not have the option to roll up a sleeve all the time

The old MBUK one is 34cm long overall, about 15cm of "hoop", 19cm of "loop" fabric. Big enough to go over scuba wetsuits and drysuits. I like velcro for underwater stuff as you can get the loose end held down, stops it undoing the clasp with water drag.
