    Allright, I just got 1" poly webbing in black and camo. The camo weighs 1.5 ounces for a 6' strap. Its rated at 1500 pounds, but Im gonna test it to be sure.

    The black comes in at the same 1.5 ounces for a 6' strap. Thats with 2" loops on either end and a 4" tail for sewing.

    It comes out to .2 ounces per foot or 6 grams. There is 7'4" in a 6' strap.

    Opie,

    This is a great idea. I have avoided Strapworks because it seems like alot of fussing around. Now you have the one stop shop option!

    I have had some poly webbing in the past that stretched, although I used it for suspension rather than huggers. This is why the Strapworks looked good. My HH tree straps don'T stretch at all. Can you please comment on the stretch properties of the webbing you have chosen to offer?

    Thanks,

    Javaman

    When you say poly do you mean polyester or polypro? Might be a good idea to clarify that.

    Hey opie,did you get a chance to test these 1'' polyester straps this week-end?

    I'm very interested in getting a set of these in camo
    Depending upon pricing of course.

    Thanks opie and miss opie too!
