    slap straps are noted for their stretching. Trade them out with better straps.

    I've never played with them, but looking at the specs I'd say the problem is that they are nylon. Nylon will stretch and isn't really recommended for suspension because of that. Personally I use poly seat belt straps from strapworks and love them, did the sowing for the loops myself though.

    If you don't have the option of sowing Strapworks will do it for you for a price. There are also several cottage venders that have plenty of options.

    Look at the ones on the Kammok site. Think they are poly. They are made similar to the slap strap.

    That would be correct. Poly might stretch some but nothing like the eno's.
