What outdoor accessories use gear cords?
Common applications include camping gear cords, cup holder straps, water bottle straps, tool hanging straps, equipment hanging straps, webbing loops, storage bag external straps and small gear hooks. Different products have different loading capacity, disassembly and assembly methods, and appearance positioning, so specifications should not be applied directly.
Flat webbing, round cord, and webbing loops: how to choose
| flat webbing | Suitable for equipment lanyards, webbing loops, external mounting straps or locations that require sewing reinforcement. |
|---|---|
| round cord | Suitable for lightweight hanging objects, drawstrings, slings and softer accessories. Please confirm the rope diameter, end and buckle hole diameter. |
| Reinforced slings | If it will bear a high load or repeated friction, it is necessary to confirm the wear resistance of the belt surface, the sewing range and the hardware edges. |
Hooks, buckles and end treatments
Hooks, D rings, carabiner style hardware, buckles and adjusters all affect webbing specifications. The inner diameter, surface treatment, weight and force direction of the fastener should be considered together with the webbing; if the ends need to be cut, knotted, hemmed or sewn, they should also be included in the quotation first.
- Gear hook: Confirm the inner diameter, material, opening direction and surface treatment.
- Webbing loop: Confirm the width, fold length, sewing method and load requirements.
- Round cord ends: confirm the knotting, metal head, plastic head or coating treatment.
- Adjustment parts: Confirm whether the length, anti-slip effect and disassembly and assembly speed need to be adjusted.
The outdoor use environment must be explained clearly first
If the product will be exposed to sunlight, moisture, friction or dust for a long time, the material and color should be evaluated together. It is not necessary to use the thickest tape for outdoor products, but you must first know what it will be hung on, where it will be hung, whether it will be disassembled and assembled repeatedly, and whether the appearance needs to be consistent with the main fabric or hardware.
