It is really hard to find an honest one. This crap about Kevlar straps has been discussed off and on for at least 8 years. I think one seller even claimed that 1 thread of Kevlar made his a Kevlar strap. Only DuPont produces Kevlar . They own it lock stock and barrel. Kevlar is not a generic word. From their website: Use of the DuPont™ Kevlar® Logo Customers and distributors are required to have a written license agreement with DuPont in order to use the Kevlar® logo on their product labels, hang tags, packaging, shipping containers, promotional material, and advertisements. If you really want to put this Kevlar Strap Crap to rest, check this out: http://www2.dupont.com/Kevlar/en_US/sales_support/trademark.html Contact DuPont and ask them. I just don't have the time to do it. Used car sales are flat, so I am going to be busy selling straps. Best to all, dmh It seems most sellers of straps have a lot in common with used car salesmen.

I assumed, same as you, that Outstretchedhands/ Duncan's email was bluster only. You haven't committed any libel, just response to outright lies. On his website he lists the straps as "Kevlar" or "kevlar" no less than 12 times while in truth, they contain no "Kevlar" or "kevlar". Great reporting with many thanks for exposing this sham for what it is. jim Nice retort Ryan. I assumed, same as you, that Outstretchedhands/
