so i was about to order the eno slap straps, when i read on here that they stretch, so i decided not to get them. can anyone suggest to me some good non stretching straps? i was thinking either the ones from hennessy. not sure if it makes a difference but i have a GT UL(for now. probably gonna upgrade in the future)
after doing some reading on here, i checked out strapworks.com and found this http://www.strapworks.com/Strapworks...ling_s/174.htm. does anyone have these? or does anyone think they are any good.
Strapworks is the way to go. They have several different type of strap material, talk with the good folks there to determine your needs.
awesome. thank you. that's what i've been wanting to know.
I've used them several times and they are very good.Originally Posted by bkautzman89
If you only need the loop on one end, I would suggest ordering the 1" Polyester, 18ft long with 2" sewn loops. You can then cut it in half and use a flame to seal the ends. Ordering a slightly longer strap will also give you the option of cutting it down later, if you find that you prefer shorter straps.
There are several great vendors around here (including Papasmurf).
I got straps from here: http://arrowheadequipment.webs.com/apps/webstore/
I paid to have the first foot on each end doubled over, so that I had loops on both ends. I sometimes just wrap the straps around a tree a couple of times & then put the other loop though the first one. I put up a biner with whoopie to adjust the hang.
If you have straps made, I'd suggest that you get a short one (say 10' with both ends doubled over would leave about a 9' strap) and then a long one (say 18' with both ends doubled over (leaving a 17' strap) for those larger trees that you might come across.
well i've yet to do much hanging on trails where there are big trees. it's mostly on my patio(4x4 posts) or some of the local parks. and the trees there aren't to big. i was thinking of getting the 8ft strap.....but maybe a 10ft would be a better idea just in case?
also, should i get strapworks.com's polyester strap or the seatbelt polyester strap? is one better then the other? i would assume seatbelt because it's used for seatbelts....i'm assuming
I've used both and other then the smoothness, can't really think of a reason to use one over the other. I'd just get the regular polyester. Also, I see they're out of stock on the Black, 1" seatbelt webbing.also, should i get strapworks.com's polyester strap or the seatbelt polyester strap? is one better then the other? i would assume seatbelt because it's used for seatbelts....i'm assuming
Perhaps I'm missing something and someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
well you've been very helpful. thank you papasmurf. i ordered the 1" regular polyester straps at 10ft lengths with 1" loops. did i miss anything or should i have done something differently?
