Don't confuse this strap with the "cheapo" versions at your local warehouse discounter. Their nylon tape has virtually no abrasion resistance, and the buckles are often "pot metal", very soft and very weak.  For high abrasion applications use our Motorcycle Cam Strap w/Nylon webbing.  Another feature that Strapworks.com has is a sewn on buckle pad!  This pad is made of heavyweight polypropylene webbing, is sewn onto the strap, and lays underneath the buckle.  The pad prevents the buckle from scratching any surface it may be laying against.
