mummyman321 -> RE: Rubber Locking Collars Vs Leather Collars.... (7/1/2011 11:17:20 AM)

Rubber or leather tends to be a material difference for the wearer. Some have fetish for rubber, some for leather. Now a rubber collar in general is not going to last as long as a good leather collar. The rubber breaks down over time due to UV light and to skin oil. The rubber also does not breathe like leather so sweat tends to build up more under a rubber collar especially if worn for a longer period of time. I would say rubber is not as smooth as leather so its not going to have a super soft feel to it. Rubber also does not mix well with most oils as it degrades the rubber. So when using a rubber collar, stay away from oils. The upside is that rubber collars are easy to clean and dry. I am a rubber lover and I like the rubber ones better. So I really see this as a "material choice" versus one being better than the other.
