Me too. HRM Tri is the best strap I've tried. No chafing and generally sensible numbers.

The (very similar) current fixed-module red HRM-RUN is the best I've used. It only occurred to me after finishing a 5 and a half hour race that it might have been a good idea to use some micropore tape under it in case it chafed. With the old straps, I'd have been bleeding by the end.

(Faintly red at the point where straps rub on me, that was all).

Oh yeah, it's just the module that's different, isn't it? It's the HRM-SWIM that has a sticky strap.

Are we back to strap-ons, this time sticky ones?

I'm interested in how long the fixed module straps last.
I'm still on HRM3 and have just bought a Polar replacement strap this week as it is cheaper. Works fine.
With the soft straps I could probably race but not worth risking the extra distraction. I did use my HRM strap in an XC last weekend as was not in race mode (was part of making sure I stayed out of race mode, also didn't wear race shorts or do race warm up) and it didn't interfere.
