If the finances allow the straps will be Dutch spider web 1.5 straps (1.5 grams/ft). The only downside is these can’t be used with cinch buckles, beetle buckles, or dutch buckles as I understand. So you always need the whoopie sling and double whoopie hook for the spreader bar. Spider/poly straps would be good as they are light and also accept a dutch buckle. But I don’t like the white in them - I prefer to blend in. Polyester straps would allow me to use dutch buckles which would accept the spreader bar, and add some versatility in being able to get rid of the whoopie slings if desired.
Polyester straps versus spider web 1.5 adds 100-120 grams (3.5 to 4.2 oz) though.
Perhaps I’m over thinking things...
