Coyote Brown Webbing

**Craigthor** · 08-02-2013, 12:21

Does anyone know where to find some good Poly Webbing in Brown color preferably Coyote Brown to use with my cinch buckle setup? I checked with Ready Strap already and no luck on that end, also googled around but best I could find was 1" in Nylon and that will stretch way too much. I've got camo from Dutch coming in today, but everything else is Coyote or Stealth Brown so thought it would be nice to finish the matched set. Freaking OCD.

Thanks guys not sure how I hadn't seen that before. Also looks like they color it in-house as well. Will wait till my gear arrives before ordering it as I emptied the hammock fund today over at AHE so will be a couple of weeks to order anything.

Beware that some Strapworks polyester webbing is very slick and may need a back up half hitch to keep is from slipping.

I was looking at this earlier today. I don't know anything about it, but it looks like a pretty decent deal.

Being only 600 lb strength not sure I would trust it. Most of the webbing we use is 1500 or higher. I have some 4400 lb Olive coming from Gary at ReadyStrap that I will be using either for cinch buckle or will shorten it for use with my Whoopies.

The polyester webbings most often used have a breaking strength of 1500 lbs and up.

The linked polypropylene webbing has a 600 lbs breaking strength. While you could probably get by with it, the margin of safety would be very low.

Edit...Craigthor beat me to it...dang, I must have typed slowwwwllllyyyy.

Interesting. I looked at the 600lb rating as being 200lbs more than the Atlas straps that I use now. I am a hammock noob, so I'm sure there is something more - What am I missing?

Typically you want a 5:1, 10:1 or more safety factor. So with Dynaglide which has a 1000 lb limit they don't recommend over 200 lbs on it hanging. Though some will use a lower safety limit I prefer heavier.

I also wouldn't be surprised if your Atlas Straps are much heavier duty then you think a 400 lb limit makes me believe they used 4400 lb webbing to make them and figuring in a safety factor tells them to limit at 400 lbs.
