Webbing are strong woven fabrics as flat strips or tubes of varying width and fiber, often used instead of ropes. It is a versatile component used in climbing, slacklining, furniture manufacturing, car security, auto racing, towing, parachute, military clothing, load security, and many other fields.
Originally made of cotton or hemp, most modern webbing is made of synthetic fibers such as nylon, polypropylene or polyester. Woven is also made of very high-strength material, such as Dyneema, and Kevlar. Light and strong wicker, with a breaking strength available over 10,000 lb (44.4 kN)
There are two basic construction of webbing. Flat braids are dense, woven with seat belts and most of the backpack straps are a common example. Tubular woven consists of flat tube, and is generally used in climbing and industrial applications.

Usage
Sports equipment
In rock climbing, nylon webbing is used in slings, runners, harness, anchor extensions and fast withdrawals. Webbing is used in many ways in climbing and camping equipment including backpacks, straps, load regulators, and tent regulators. There are two types of webbing: tubular and flat. The most popular webbing is one inch, but is available in widths of two and three inches.
Narrow webbing is often looped through chockstones, which are jammed into the gap as an anchor safety. In other cases, the webbing is looped over the rock. Wicker is less likely to escape from a rock than a tubular strap. Note that the webbing construction is completely flat or flat flat; the latter tend to handle better but the knots are more likely to jam.
The most popular knots in webbing are water nodes and grapevine nodes. The latter is stronger, but uses more webbing for the knot. It is customary to leave several centimeters extending from the knot, and in many cases climbers record the edges down into the main loop.
Woven is also cheaper than a rope of the same size, especially a kernmantle strap, which requires complex and expensive manufacturing. Unlike climbing ropes, which are generally sold under known brand names, making plaiting is usually generic. Shop climbs sell it from coils on a per-yard basis or per foot.
Wicker is cut with hot wire like nylon rope, which prevents fraying and decomposes. However, when the webbing is not swinging and decomposes, the result is less dangerous than the rope, providing a simple advantage. Woven suffers from a lack of elasticity less than a rope perlon, and may be more difficult to handle with gloves or gloves.
Slacklines often use 1-inch (2.5 cm) flat or tubular woven, or 2-inch (5 cm) flat woven. Other widths are used, but less common.
The rafting boat uses a tubular webbing for the bow lines, stern lines, "chicken line" (around the perimeter outside the boat), tied equipment, or floors moored for independent rafts. The rafters are called tubular "hoopie" or "hoopi" plaits. The cassette also uses camstraps with a flat net for tied equipment.
Life preservers are also made using nylon or cotton wool in accordance with federal standards and guidelines.
Automotive and racing security
Seat belts are a real example of webbings used in automated security but there are many other uses. Woven nylon and polyester are widely used in the safety of auto racing for a wide range of goods. Racing harness has been driving the driver has been using nylon webbing for years, but since the death of Dale Earnhardt webbing webbing became more popular due to his increased strength, and lower elongation rates under load. Commercial nets of type 9 webbing that are commonly used in race races extend about 20 to 30 percent of its initial length at 2500 lb (11.1 kN) while polyester only extends 5 to 15 percent. Window nets to prevent objects from entering the driver compartment are built from polypropylene webbing, such as helmet nets used to reduce side loads to the heads in Sprint cars. The HANS device uses webbing tethers to attach a helmet to the collar, and the Hutchens device is made almost entirely of webbing.
Furniture
Webbing is used on sofas and chairs as a base for a strong and flexible seating area. Woven used as a supporter is often rubbered to increase endurance and increase elasticity. Many types of outdoor furniture use little more than a thin light net for the seating area. Wicker is also used to strengthen the joints and areas that tend to bend.
Military
Military woven, otherwise known as Mil-Spec webbing, usually consists of high tensile strength, narrow fabric fabric such as Nylon, Kevlar, and Nomex. When these materials are used for parachute and balloon applications, they must also conform to the PIA (Parachute Industry Association) standard.
Mil-Spec webbing is used to make military belts, packages, pouches, and other wicker equipment. The British Army adopted wicker cotton to replace the skin after the Second Boer War even though leather belts were still worn with more formal attire. The term is still used for combat soldier equipment, although woven cotton has since been replaced with more advanced materials. The webbing system used by the British Army is currently known as Personal Load Carrying Equipment. Americans use Lightweight Individual Bringing Tools and MOLLE.
Military woven is designed to be light enough to bring the essentials needed in combat and to survive outdoors. Generally, a soldier is also provided a package to carry survival items anywhere between 24 hours and a week. The woven is designed so that if the army pack is lost or abandoned, the army can survive on emergency ration, water and clothing, carried in it for up to 24 hours, or longer if supplies are rationed.
The typical contents of military woven equipment include cooking utensils, 24 hour quarters, water, ammunition, first aid or supplies for survival, weather equipment/cold showers, anti-gas/CBRN fixtures and fixtures (such as quarter/half tents, , etc.). The items are generally stored regularly in a combination of ammo pouches and utilities. Ammo bags are reserved for ammunition in the form of magazines, but if not all bags are full, it is common for soldiers to keep their weapons cleansing equipment in the same pocket. In the first bag of utilities, soldiers generally keep dirty cans, pellet stoves, lighter or waterproof lighters, and enough rations for the last 24 hours. In the second bag of utilities is a canteen and cup of military edition. The canteen can hold a quart of water. Mugs have two metal folding hoists that give the user a cool place to hold it while drinking a warm drink. The third utility bag contains a small first aid kit, for minor cuts and scratches, but not the first field dressing. This bag can also contain a variety of other items such as a pair of binoculars, a red light torch, utility knife, or compass. Other bags may be attached that allow for more storage capabilities. For example a Bowman radio bag for PRC 349 or a PRR bag for personal role radio. These bags are more expensive because of their limited manufacturing.
Most military plait systems incorporate modular construction levels consisting of yokes (shoulder straps), belts and different bags for different loads, such as an ammunition magazine may have a divider, special waterproofing, and/or tabs to help lift the magazine out. Different pocket combinations can be used to customize the webbing to better fit the mission required. In some better models the pouch is stitched directly onto the hip pad which prevents bouncing from the pouch and makes the webbing more comfortable.
Generally it is not unusual for western soldiers to fight while wearing packages and therefore before anticipating contact with the enemy, the package is usually kept away from the front edge of the battle area and the webbing is used as a direct load equipment instead. Woven belts are also often used by modern cadets and scout groups, as well as police and security forces.
Transportation
Tie downs, straps, cargo straps, E-track straps, cargo hoist straps, rope cranes, straps, cargo net, and dozens of other goodies are used by thousands of shipping and trucking companies daily. The transport industry is probably the largest user of high-strength webbing in the world.
Clothing
Belts, suspenders/braces, sandals and bags/purses woven from various forms of webbing. Corset-styled back-braces and other medical braces often incorporate ropes made of webbing.
Pet collars and collars
Dog collars, leashes, and dog leash often use webbing to make collars and leashes. While the most common nylon and polyester, polypropylene can also be used. These pet products are often sewn together with decorative ribbons or cotton fabrics.
Hardware
Webbing is often equipped with various forms of tie down hardware to extend the range of its capabilities (and create straps). This hardware can take the form:
- End fittings (S-hook, snap hook, bolt/anchor plate, J-hook, flat hook, etc.)
- Fasteners (over-center, cam, ratchet, etc.)
- Buckles (slide buckles, snap buckles, etc.)
There are also hardware associated with various end fittings to attach them to the surface, such as a footman loop, bracket, and E-track fittings.
