BLS are OK. Their design is simple and effective, albeit crude. I personally still think that NJS straps are better than nylon offerings these days.
I literally have a BLS strap in my hand as I’m pecking this reply. So many places that it can be better. Hopefully they can work on improving them as opposed to sitting on their laurels. The design is easily copied. I think someone here found a link to pre-made hardware product that was almost identical for only a few dollars. I made a clone as my “learn how to sew” project.
Not trying to dis BLS. Now it’s time for them to get better.
