Military webbing

killer · 06-12-2008, 12:00 PM

I bought some nylon and cotton webbing at what seemed a fair price but can't google specifics about it.

I think the nylon is stronger than the 100% cotton though? I'm also looking at a roll of 125 yards of 1" nylon military tubular for $79.00 which seems like a fair price too. It looks like regular 1" mountain climbing tubular to me which when I used to buy it had a breaking strengh of 5000 pounds.

Any line experts out there? What I'm looking for is definitions in the types. They use some of the following terms when listing:

Type XII
Type III
Type IIA
Type II

I picked up the 125 yard spool of 1" tubular too guys and it sure looks like the good stuff .21 a foot which is normally going for .34 a foot.

I use it for tree trimming. Tie it off to the tree with a come-a-long, crank it down and it helps persuade the tree which way to fall. It's last's a life time and takes a lot of punishment.

Gosh..I've used 1" TUBULAR nylon webbing when rock clombing, rappeling and caving--it's good stuff and can be used to make slings and seats for critical applications. If what you have is tubular, that is to say, a hollow, maore ore less round when you flex it material, it's good for almost everything.

The thing is to look for test and accreditdation data--that means it's actually been subjected to objective testing.
