It appears that polyester is known to be the best material for thread for DIY outdoor gear as far as deterioration and abrasion resistance is concerned. Is this a concern for webbing as well? I've found it to be kind of hard to find polyester webbing with a reasonable rating. Nylon is everywhere but I was curious what other's opinions are on this. Is polyester gonna last much if any longer than nylon? I'm using webbing for my saddles and accessories if that makes a difference. I have some polyester 1 inch webbing with a 4500 lb. rating but its so thick and heavy that I'm really having second thoughts. The seams will probably leave a bit to be desired at best because of the thickness and stiffness. Thanks in advance for any and all opinions and advice.
