Garmin Fenix compatible HR chest strap, but not Garmin

My skin reacts badly to whatever the plastic Garmin use for their HR monitor straps.

I currently have the HRM pro plus  - does anyone know of any aftermarket chest monitors & straps that are compatible & have similar functionality?

Years ago I used to put a Garmin sensor onto a polar strap, but they’ve changed the design so it’s no longer press studs and interchangeable.

The COOSPO HRM works with my 810 and Instinct 2 (£23.99 on Amazon). Can't comment on the allergy side of things though

Polar H10 works too, not the cheapest but its what I had already and was happy to find it works fine. Same for the Edge 530 too.

Will you be selling your Garmin strap? I have the old Garmin one that is ANT+ only and I'd quite like one that does Bluetooth too.

Thanks all, I’ll have a closer look at those.

@finbar - yes I’ll definitely be selling it - used twice (one run & one turbo session).

I’ll PM you about it.
