I was actually trying to post a couple of pics of the strap but was having issues with my iPad copying the image links.
Trying again....

Yes...Parkaboy is correct. The strap is natural rubber (versus silicon). It does not attract lint at all.
Also, I read on the Watchuseek forum that others reported this strap did not have the pleasant vanilla smell that other natural rubber traps have. But they were wrong. Mine smells pleasantly vanilla too!!!
I am very pleased with it.
 
On my Sea Diver I am using an aftermarket Milanese strap, which makes it a completely different watch! Tomorrow you'll se in photos. It has become completely mad!!! Love

Yes I agree. The price on the Borealis rubber strap is fantastic for the quality!!!
Still waiting on mine. I read some reviews that say its stiff, was this your experience? Has it broken in?

EDIT: Also wasn't there a schematic pic somewhere? Anyone know where it is?

Well I guess if I compare it to one of my silicone straps, yeah it is stiffer than that.
Trade off I guess.

But overall it is very comfortable to me. Has bent/molded to the bend of my wrist well so yes it has broken in nicely.

On the Watchuseek forum there are many arguments about its stiffness and/or quality versus the Isofrane strap. But I say whatever to that. The price difference between the two make it a no-brainer for me. I am very happy with mine.
