The new nylon straps are stiffer and made from a super-high density microfiber material that is an advanced composite of ultra-fine polyester fibers; this allows the stiffness required for holstering a protection device or everyday tools. The backing is sweat resistant, strap thickness near 3/16" and strap width is 1 1/2. The buckle has Allen head stainless steel screws replacing the pins for a stronger buckle. The clasp body has been lengthened and a new larger clasp with 2 set screws gives a secure hold with extra security.
