I have several of all three, the Alpine Loop, the Trail Loop and the Ocean Band. The Trail Loop is the most comfortable, but not quite 100% secure, and the Alpine Loop is kind of in between with regards to comfort and security. The Ocean Band is very secure, but not quite as comfortable as the Alpine Loop or Trail Loop. What the Ocean Band has going for it is that it sheds sweat, water and grime. It’s the only band I have that doesn’t get funky over time. My original Alpine Loop and Trail loop look terrible and smell funky even though I put them through the wash frequently. My original Ocean Bands all look new. When I am out on the water or trail, I usually wear an ocean band. For casual wear I usually wear the Trail Loop or Alpine Loop.
