Straps?

I am new here and wanted to know what the difference is between a NATO strap and ZULU strap? Is there one official brand that makes these with others considered knock offs ? If so which is the best quality strap of this kind?

Thanks

Zulu has less fabric & hardware, compared to the NATO style.
Phoenix & Maratac make good woven nylon fabric straps.

I have both ZULU & NATO straps......the NATO style is, IMHO, more military looking.....both are great, they aren't too expensive....try one, what have you got zulus (sorry, couldn't resist)
