I’m not much of a DIY person in the sewing stuff together realm but I was interested in strap ‘chairs’ and weights of different strap / buckle options, so I went to strapworks.com (no affiliation) and ordered a number of different combos because they are all fairly cheap and sewn for you, then weighed them all in the interests of science.
(Sorry for the image, I tried inserting a table but apparently not allowed or I’m doing it wrong)
I was a little surprised the single adjust 2″ weighed more than the side buckle single adjust, but if you look at the single adjust, it is just massive (particularly compared to the 1.5″ single adjust, not sure why but there it is.) Â Similarly I was a little surprised that the 1.5″ single adjust weighed the same as the D rings 1.5″, I had assumed the D rings would be the winner (and is the more expensive strap.)
I haven’t sat in them enough to figure out if I like the 1.5″ or the 2″ more.
I’m a skinny tall guy and I could probably get away with 6, 6.5′ of strapping if I needed to (they come in intervals of 2′ so I went 8′) Â From strapworks CS the 2″ light polypropylene is 0.02 lbs per foot, I’d infer the 1.5″ is 0.015 per foot but have not measured either directly myself.
I was thinking the real gram shavers could cut out little squares to make it more like a strap ladder everywhere it wouldn’t be resting against you (since I would assume that would grow uncomfortable, at least for me) but that also seems like it would make it much less multifunctional, as a strap with a single adjust seems like it is generally useful in other ways than helping you sit. Â Or make them out of folded duct tape or something. ;)
Anyway was just kind of a ‘for fun’ purchase but hopefully helps someone else out.
