Nylon webbing is softer than other types of webbing. This makes it ideal for projects in which you'll be handling the webbing. This webbing is not recommended for load-bearing applications. Use this webbing for bag handles and backpack straps, pet collars, leashes and harnesses, luggage straps, sports equipment and gear, and any other uses for a lightweight webbing. If you need a stronger nylon webbing with a higher breaking strength, search for Heavy Duty Nylon Webbing on our site.

All Sailrite® webbing features a catch cord. A catch cord is a yarn which binds the "knitted" needle edge of webbing woven on a needle loom. The catch cord prevents the fill yarn from unraveling at the cut end. Cutting webbing with a hotknife is still highly recommended.

Nylon webbing features high abrasion resistance but does not float in water. Due to nylon's elasticity, the webbing will stretch but recovers nicely. For a webbing with higher UV resistance, choose a polyester webbing.

Please Note: The webbing is made to specifications, however due to the weaving process the width can vary up to ± 1/32".
