Backplate Harness Webbing

Hi all,

Someone on here mentioned www.pointnorth.co.uk for (2") harness webbing
supplies, but what type? The site lists Polypropylene, Nylon and
Polyester :{

Which would be the material of choice? Sorry to be thick, but I thought
it was best to ask!

Cheers

Was wondering the same thing myself.
I rang Point North and they recommended polypropylene, it is stiff
and has a coarse weave so it will resist tangling and the fittings
won't slip. They don't have an any in stock at the moment but they are
sending me a small sample.

Now all you have to worry about is the colour.

Polypropylene is the stuff you want and is what the commercial
harnesses are made from. Nylon and polyester are too 'soft',
especially in water.
