I started making adjustment straps out of bio-thane. They last a lot longer than regular nylon adjustment straps. I like them better, but everybody has there own preference. I make stuff how people want it but I also try to make it where if something were to happen to it, its an easy simple fix for them. You can get kevlar and all these multiple layer designs with all the neat bells and whistles. People automatically are fooled when the product states "Ballistic material" or "Kevlar, the stuff bullet proof vests are made of" There is no doubt these are tough fabrics and yes bullet proof vests do have kevlar in them. They still do not stop bullets, I spent 3 years in combat watching bullets zip right through kevlar fabrics. A person can go down to the hardware store, buy a roll of truckers strap, and make bullet proof collars for about 5 Bucks a collar with a simple design. The key is making it in loose layers where it is not so tightly sewn together. Basically, I have found out that the simple designs have lasted a lot longer and have protected my dogs against some boars that my 8 dogs couldn't hold. That's 8 running catch dogs. They straight up kill 200 pounders before I get to them. I tell people this because they can go to my site, see how I make them and build them their selves if they really want to. Some of them, you can make on a home sewing machine if you have one. I use a $1400 dollar industrial sewing machine that has a needle on it the size of a 8d nail. The nylon thread on it is about the same diameter as 20 lb test fishing line. I double stitch it and throw rivets in on some of them. Only, because when someone buys one, it doesn't fall apart on them. I test my collars on my own dogs, if they don't make the cut-no pun intended-they don't get sold.
