Our domestic webbing carries approximately 30% more surface area than many other straps and it is made with 100% first quality yarns. Our standard pic count is 19 pics per inch. Other companies may use webbing with as low as 10 pics. Why is the pic important? Pics are the vertically run yarns that provide the majority of strength to the tie down when pulled. When tested at an independent lab, we found that our standard webbing had a higher average break strength than the major competitor’s premium grade product. They also found that our product had less elongation and was equal when tested against the premium grade products that boast superior abrasion resistance. Simply put, we dare you to compare our product whether it is an import or domestic. We are confident that you can see the difference.
