Hey guys got to thinking about dyneema and was wondering if it came in webbing for and it turna out it does seems mostly used for climbing but I am wondering has anyone tried using any dyneema webbing for tree straps? I found a few different types of webbing OnLive all dyneema although none of them have the weight per foot that I found but all were 3k+ break strength... I'm really interested if anyone had any news thanks guys!

With all due respect, It seems you're looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
What do you expect to gain over polyester straps?
These straps go to 11.Originally Posted by gmcttr
I believe RSGary has some 3000# polyester material. I don't see what you would gain either.

rofl I got that one...
Dutch has Kevlar straps now. Pricey (90 cents/foot vs 28 cents/foot) but for that gram weenie it is half the weight of his polyester straps (3.3g/foot vs 7g/foot)

Yah I'm not really looking for them for sure I was just curious how they would do maybe a tad bit less stretch don't absorbed the water when it's raining would be nice possibly a little lighter ect.. but I don't really want something like the python straps because I don't like that type of suspenssion like the Atlas straps slap straps ext.

I don't know where you can buy dyneema webbing be the foot for DIY purposes, and I haven't seen anything close to 1" wide.
All the pre-made item's aren't long enough to adapt either, and again, not at least 1" wide.
Dyneema straps would solve the problems created by Kevlar straps: Stronger,lighter, hydrophobic, and more UV resistance. http://www.bainbridgeint.com/Variant...tem=PRD-900174
