See? It's working.
That's a brand??? Then what's the actual thing called?
Hook and loop fastener or something long and unwieldy
Yeah most space age material names are. It's dacron wrapped in mylar surmounted in inconel plated in clyno and attached with velcro. Which of those did I make up?
I know that Mylar, Inconel and Velcro are real, so it's a toss-up between Dacron and Clyno.
After consulting an online source, I vote that Clyno is the imposter.
I have only heard some old-fashioned sailors and marketing people call it Dacron, everybody else has settled on polyester
