I tried to embed it, but it didn't work.

First impressions of it is that it looks well built... then when you put them on those flapping extra length straps were a "point reduction"... one could (if inclined to keep them) sew on some velcro at the ends so that the straps don't flap around much or at all. Just first thoughts.
Like Brian, looking forward to the follow up.

Hey Ralph! They do look like they would work nicely. Rick did say the extra material could be cut and Sealed for individual length!

Exactly! I'd much rather have long straps that I can cut to fit, than straps that might be too short. NOT a minus in my book.
