The lightweight webbings have a little slipperier feel, if using webbing with buckles that
require tension or adjustment we would most recommend using the  Apex Waveloc
side release buckles (see our plastic fastener page).

  The grosgrain is available in a SOFT style and a FIRM style.  The soft style is more recommended for binding edges and the firm works well for use as a lightweight webbing (ie: tent pullouts, strapping but note on some buckles it may be too slippery with buckles that are under tension).

NYLON WEBBING
      The most commonly used webbing for outdoor gear.  A nice flat  weave allows it to work well with almost all buckles.
     
POLYPROPYLENE WEBBING
       Good webbing for long time sun exposure and marine use.    Has a coarser, “loopier” weave than the nylon webbing.

GROSGRAIN
      A very lightweight nylon webbing.  It's especially good for binding off fabric edges.

  This unique, sew-on style of hook and loop has both the hook and the loop together in alternating rows on one side of the tape.   The loop stands above the hook buffering them from snagging fabrics and giving them a soft touch against the skin.  Pressing firmly, it sticks well to itself and yet does not pick up lint like traditional hook fastener does.   It also does not stick to other fabrics, like no-see-um mesh thus keeping the fabrics from snagging.    Uses: great for cinching straps- easily adjustable to tighten and loosen.  Also, being used to to keep your sleeping quilt attached to your sleeping pad while sleeping by sewing one strip to your quilt and glueing another strip to your sleeping pad to attach the quilt to pad and eliminate cold spots.

THREAD TIP

Gutermann thread is highly recommended for items that will incur long-term sun exposure or abrasion.  Gutermann has a stronger tensile strength than "regular over-the-counter" thread but both have approx. the same diameter (thickness) so the Gutermann works well on household sewing machines.
