I have a PAM 232 which has a 24mm lug width. I see BOB and TCStraps have notations like 24/22, 26/24. What do they mean?

Lug width/buckle width

In other words, dimensions such as 26x22 start out at 26mm wide at the lug and taper slightly to finish at 22mm wide at the buckle. Conversely, a 26x26 strap does not taper, and has the same width throughout.

Sack/Cucumber Jones,

How is the length (of the strap) designated? :roll:

What is the "normal" length of the straps? Tnx.

For example, if a strap was 125/75 long, it means that the 'short' piece of the strap which includes the buckle is 75mm long and the other piece, which includes the holes, is 125.

You will see straps with lengths such as 115/75, 125/80, 130/85 etc.

For a detailed tutorial, see Takashi's excellent post below:

Thanks a lot. I assume 125/75 is the standard (normal) length?

strap length also a matter of preference

-

Great sources if info in above links. Also, decide what length you prefer, I like mine one size over, that way they can be worn (in the case of subs) over a "wettie" ('suit), so IMO that's a more functional look.

Here's a few straps:
