Well dont think the overall quality differs much acording to price with Nato straps. Eddie Platt from timefactors.com now he sells very good quality Nato straps for a very good price.

If you are in the USA check out the Maratac brand of nato & zulu woven nylon straps.
Broadarrow.com & Countycomm.com carry them................Broadarrow has better prices.

I bought an excellent one from "Squinky" on ebay. Also recently bought an excellent quality leather one on there too, albeit from a UK seller.

Corvus is most authentic in my opinion but a little more $.

I went with corvus. They use straps from Phoenix in Wales UK, original supplier of nato and the material is from a small mill in Scottland.

Hardware is marked made in Britain.

I've only tried Maratac, and love the one I have.

It dries quickly, and looks good as new. However, I've only had mine for a few days, so I haven't had a change to really abuse it yet.
