Beta vs. Biothane?
When people talk about synthetic harnesses, many of them refer to their harness as being biothane. Many people also have opinions as to biothane being better than leather, biothane being stiff in the winter, biothane being shiny, etc. Sometimes, people will also use the term “beta”. They think that beta is a matte material, softer, and more desirable than biothane for harnesses from which to be made.- Myrna Rhinehart
