If you've ever dealt with nylon straps, you can tell the difference between what is going to work better in wet, dry, caked on dirt, whatnot. See how the Bikeage ones are made with very fine woven threads, almost creating a smooth surface that repeals dirt and water. The origin8 straps are very thick threads that are going to be stiff when left in the sun, collect dirt like a mofo, and really get warped and soggy easily in the rain.
