   The selection of 20mm buckles is much less than 25mm, so I might have to change my plans to accommodate 25mm webbing instead.
   I just think 3/4” looks nicer than 1” webbing.
   1” looks bulky and seems like overkill.

     @anime_outdoor Depends on the load though. Wider is cozier for a heavy load….and I’ve found that no matter what duty it’s meant for, your crews will ALWAYS overload it

     @anime_outdoor It’s a comfort issue, wider spreads out the weight better so it doesn’t cut into the fat people as much. Also slips less, since it has a bigger footprint

     @WashedOutGundamPilot It’s just for backpack straps.
     Most 1” poly webbing has around 1000lb tensile strength, and idk what 3/4” inch is but should be fine.
     The only real advantage to 1” I can think of is that there is a wider section of buckles and hooks for that size, and the wider strap is better when sewing it directly to the surface of something since there is a larger surface area then.
