Polar Chest Straps. Replacement straps available in sizes XS thru XXL.Sports reviews of Polar WearLink+ Replacement Strap (X-Small-Small)
Customer Review: New design much better
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My original Wearlink strap broke at the place where it goes into the transmitter. It was just plastic and I had used it for 2 years wearing 4 days weak for an average of 90 minutes a day workout. The orginal one stood the wear and tear pretty well. But still that design had a lot of parts where the plastic could break.
The new one is wrapped around the chest with a hook-like design where you slip the strap into the hook attached on one end of the strap. There are two button like leads in the front where you can place the transmitter.

I have used the Polar FC11 watch which uses the Wearlink Strap to transmit pulse data to the wristwatch and then subsequently upload to the Web. I find the strap reliable, comfortable and easy to maintain.Customer Review: great replacement for original
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
much more functional/comfortable, especially for larger chests (52)... the connection's not going to break like the snap on the original strap.
bravo.
Customer Review: Much improved vs the previous model
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The picture on this product indicates the strap is the old model, where the band's ends clip into the transmitter module. I'd had problems with the old design due to sweat corroding the contacts and giving me intermittent pickup - I used to have to buy a new band every 6 months or so.
When I got the new set, I found that they had improved the design - the band now fastens at the side, with the transmitter still in the center but with rubber cups around the contacts to help prevent corrosion. Not had any issue so far, just reliable operation. Very happy with the new design.
Customer Review: Poor design = not durable
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
The new design is superior in a number of ways to the original wearlink strap: it's more comfortable, easier to put on, and the transmitter does not touch your skin (and therefore isn't exposed to sweat). Unfortunately, there is a serious weak link in the design: There is a metal hook at one end of the strap that catches onto a fabric loop at the other end, holding the strap together. The fabric loop isn't strong enough, and mine tore off after about two months. You'll see similar complaints in other reviews. There is no easy way to repair the problem. Unfortunately, if you need a replacement strap for your wearlink transmitter, this seems to be the only game in town.
