My two Bianchi Speed Strips disintegrated after years of storage and I need to buy some new ones.
I noticed that there's a competitor product, "Tuff Products" who make a nearly identical product called "Quick Strips" and they come packaged in four each vs. Bianchi's 2-pack. The Quick Strips also come in orange as well as black.

In '22 I bought some Tuff Quick Strips to replace some Bianchis, as the Bianchi ones were only lasting a year and a half or so of daily use. The time I've had Tuff ones isn't long enough to definitely say they are more durable, but they cerrainly display less change in shape. The Bianchi ones always seemed to pretty quickly develop an inward or outward bend, the Tuff ones are still straight.

"Yes, Minister" is required viewing. Seriously, watch it. Along with "Yes, Prime Minister." They are not fiction.
A Holster has come out with some 3d printed strips as well, the tab is thicker and they are a little stiffer, but pretty nice. I'm not sure if they will break down or not. Both Tuff and Bianchi break down over 5 to 10 years and have to be replaced.
