How does the band fair against Shampoo, Conditioner, Soap; in the shower?
How does the band last with like soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. I see some answers that they say it gets wet, but dries super quickly, but doesn't go into grave detail enough to the point where if you tried their recommendation that it turns out to something else and didn't like the actual outcome of it. Just was working outside when it started to rain a decent amount, enough to get damp on my clothes and all, and the band seemed to stay dry or just a little feeling of it being wet. Just thought I'd see if there was anyone else that fully tested this out or actually had a video of them doing this since I searched google and youtube and found nothing.

AnswerNo problem! I wear mine in the shower and after a couple of weeks, no apparent damage to the band. I also find that it dries out very quickly afterwards, especially if I blot the excess water with my bath towel.

How does the band fasten?

AnswerThis band is made of a specially designed hook and loop type tape. Instead of deep, open loops that would eventually get unraveled to a fuzzy mess, the loops appear to be closed, i.e. With both ends connected to the tape. The hook part is quite shallow compared to regular Velcro-brand tape, resulting in a nubby rather than a scratchy surface. Whether this modification proves to be durable over time remains to be seen, but it certainly ends up being very soft and comfortable to wear. The band has the hook fasteners on one end, and it's one continuous tape, so the fastener end folds over and attaches to the looped surface, which gives the wearer the ability to adjust the length to the individual's wrist size. Finally, there's a safety bar on the hook end, which keeps the band from becoming detached from the watch itself and maintaining the closed loop, thus preventing loss of the Watch. Excellent design.

AnswerNo, this band is not 100% water-proof. It holds water if you get it wet, but it dries super quickly.

AnswerIt's made of nylon, elastic and micro loops. It will absorb some water but probably dries out quickly.

Answer
The 38mm sport loop is 8.5" long when laid out flat, not including the findings at either end. There are 4 hook sections at one end. In order for the foldover to work, at least one hook section must be able to connect to the loop surface to fasten. That decreases the length by at least 1.25". There are 4 hook sections, and I wouldn't want to use less than 2 hook sections to get a secure closure. I wear a 7.5-8" jewelry bracelet, and I can get a comfortable 4-hook section closure with some length to spare. The 42mm band is longer, but I don't have access to it.

AnswerIt's the same type of band, Sport Loop, hook and loop woven nylon. It has slightly different in graphic design. If you look closely Nike one has the vertical white stripes accent across the band where regular Black Sport Loop is just pure black. Hope this helps
