I have straps from both Clark and Hennessy, they are quite different. I'm curious if anyone here knows the specific differences between them and any advantage/disadvantage of one over the other?
I don't have a scale here, but here are my superficial observations...
-- The Clark straps are 2" x 89" vs the HH straps 1.5" x 46"
-- The Clark straps seem to weigh about the same, despite being much bigger.
-- The Clark straps are obviously more bulky and take up more space.
-- Clark straps are sort of stiff feeling, coarse weave and when folded or bunched up seem to hold the wrinkles for awhile before smoothing back out.
-- HH straps are much softer and more pliable. They seem to be made of standard seatbelt webbing type material.
Anyone have any idea what the Clark straps are made of exactly? Any reason why they shouldn't be used in a Marlin Spike Hitch set up? They seem to work fine to me as far as I can tell, but they are SO different than the straps most people are using that I'm very curious what's up. It appears to me that a strap made to the smaller 1.5" x 46" dimension would weigh significantly less than the HH straps... so what's the negative that I'm overlooking?
