Why Are Tethers so Expensive ?
I just ordered materials to construct a safety harness, and I'm looking at tethers, and I can't believe how expensive they are ( $100+). They're just made of shock cord, tubular nylon webbing and s/s fittings. All relatively inexpensive materials readily available.

What am I missing that makes them so expensive?
