Yes the laminated leather are laminated with Nylon. But the Nylon ones are not as cool to me. I will look around I must have a few left some place. Steve

Hello all,
Once again I thank everyone for the help. I bow in your general direction.
I was directed to the Yellow Jersey web site for 3 Rensho straps. Toshi
and 3 Rensho both make Keirin straps, however the Toshi straps are laminated leather and the 3 Rensho straps are nylon. Interesting. Are nylon straps really as strong as a laminated leather?.

Yes they made, and still make, straps over there but the only ones I've

Beat me to posting that link. So track straps are always/sometimes/never different from road straps?
