Thanks scott. Generally I only hear nylon, nylon, nylon around here so I didn't even consider the polyester stuff that it came with (although that's what I used to practice and it seems plenty strong enough to me - need to test it though). Your sugestion sent me out to educate myself. Would you agree with the following?
"Polyester is very close to nylon in strength when a steady force is applied. However, unlike nylon, polyester stretches very little and therefore cannot absorb shock loads as well. It is as equally resistant as nylon to moisture and chemicals, but is superior in resistance to abrasion and sunlight"
Most info seems to agree on the uv resistance part but not on abrasion. What is your take?
