Zulu question

I have about 5 natos and 2 Zulus. I prefer the thickness/bulkiness of the Zulus however the 2 I have seem VERY stiff.

Are all Zulus extremely stiff?


For example, I have maratac natos (but different brand zulus) and they seem soft and pliable to me, but how do they compare to a maratac zulu? The zulu is obviously bulkier, but does it have that same softness/pliability, or is it real stiff?

Thanks for the feedback

Maratac Zulus are stiffer/thicker than Maratac NATOs.

I only know about the Maratac brand....the woven nylon fabric they use on their Zulu straps is thicker than the fabric used on their NATO straps.
