    Introducing Venom UHMWPE Black Webbing

    We searched for the better part of this year to find a webbing that was stronger, tougher, AND lighter than everything else. When we couldn't find it, we made it.

    Today we are proud to introduce Venom™ UHMWPE webbing...

    Designed, woven, and produced from scratch by us, Venom™ webbing uses one of the world's strongest fibers (UHMWPE) to yield a webbing that's super light, crazy strong, and more abrasion resistant than common nylon and polyester webbing.

    In short, Venom™ is very similar to branded Dyneema in performance, but without the crazy markup and long production lead times. In the end, this means lower prices and more innovative products brought to you quicker. We think that's a win

    We also listened to your overwhelming feedback and did something really wild and crazy - we made Venom™ webbing in BLACK . On top of that, Venom™ is dope dyed so the yarn itself is black, meaning it won't come off on your hands like "Black" Amsteel.

    And the numbers don't lie. We tested our 3/4" Venom™ webbing to an average break strength of over 2700 lbs. To put that in perspective, our 1" polyester webbing has a break strength of just over 1500 lbs at around 3.5x the weight!

    If you want webbing that's lighter, tougher, and stronger, this is it. Period.

    We're starting this line in 3/8" and 3/4" varieties aimed at ultralight pack webbing, but we will be doing a 1" version specifically for hammock suspension very soon. We've also played around with using the 3/4" in a becket hitch config from a tree hugger. We'll release those results later in the week.

    We're selling this in 5 ft sections, but we'll make it continuous if you need it up to 100 ft. Just leave a note on the order.

    As always, thanks so much for your support of what we do!

    THANK YOU
    - Kyle

    As soon as you have the 1" webbing I will definitely be ordering for my suspension! I love my current uhmwpe straps but don't particularly like the white color

    I’m thinking a 10’ length of 3/4”, becket hitched to a 5’ length of 1 or 2” wide tree hugger... might be as Light as you can go...

    Hmmmm....

    This looks great! Waiting on the 1". Will it work with hardware (beetle buckles)? How "snaggy" is it on tree bark?

    Not really. The 3/4" is 2.5g per foot. That's heavier than Dutch's 1" Dyneema.
    If Kyle can make the 1" less than 2.5g per foot, then he'll be on a winner (the strength rating is OTT anyway).

    So many options these days.

    Pretty excited for this. I have a tarp planned that will be green and black and fit this venom motif nicely.

    Very cool. Will wait for the 1" to be available.
    When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".

    These are my thoughts. Going to be playing around with some cool variations this week. Other UHMWPE webbing might be a bit lighter, but the durability difference is insane.

    Correct. These variants are targeted at pack and general webbing use where it needs to work with plastic buckles - side release, ladder locs, etc. In testing we found that anything thinner would not reliably hold. This is why we've gone a bit thicker and "heavier". That and durability.

    I've got some off-brand Dyneema straps. 2.4g/ft (always think that is a bizarre measurement system!) plain weave and 2.0g/ft twill weave.
    The plain weave doesn't roll up as badly as the twill, but is still not as stiff as I'd like it. Is it possible to get a stiff webbing this thin?
