We had another idea on the http://www.lost-ark.net site, the <b>'All-Weather Bag Strap"</b>.
I haven't really seen a strap offered with this purpose in mind, so this is a little experiment.
Again your thoughts gents....

well, yes, and if all gearheads continually oil, wax, and lovingly care for any vegetable tanned leather strap this experiment is superfluous.Michaelson wrote:Not sure what you're gaining with this product. The same effect is obtained with ANY leather strap and coatings of a leather dressing such as Pecards. Regards. Michaelson
some might neglect straps, and know when a strap has been wet, and then dried too quickly, without those currying oils, how easily the leather cracks.
it would take a lot of pecards to oil to this extent, and the currying oils are soaked well in, to let the leather take any amount of abuse from weather.
however,they are a bit soft and stretchy for dress use, and I also asked Dudley to warn of the chance of staining clothes.
mostly its because I got a skin of lovely american pullup in the right colour, which happened to be long enough for 72" straps, and I thought I'd cut a few in case they were of use to any of you.
skins that long are not so easy to find here.
thanks for the feedback.
