Just a thought.....
While the Extreme tippet is as strong, or stronger than Kevlar, and produces a rather stiff leader, somewhat stiffer than Kevlar, actually, it doesn't look or feel like Kevlar, which is the material I used for the first furled leader I made. The similarities are there, Warren, until you get them both in hand and compare them.
Also, Kevlar tends to fray around the tip ring after extended use - my guess is that the Extreme tippet will not fray, which is a major factor in long term durability.
