Do the white belts you are referring to look like this?



Some belts, such as this one, have kevlar fibers in them.

yes, so I guess the white ones are stonger

[Steve]

That is the idea. The tensile strength to weight ratio of kevlar is 5 times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis.

I am not sure what fibers are used in general belts but my guess is they are not going to be as strong as kevlar.

Yes it's kevlar and three times the cost also....
