I'll look into it Shawn. I'll admit that at first, I did think 'where's the wotsit to keep the strap end from flapping about' but after trying them I realised that the angle of the strap / fitting pushes the strap down against itself and it stays put without anything additional ... the more tension on the strap, the firmer it is.
May the bridges you burn light your way
