Zusammenfassung:A fastening system for use with a garment incorporates elastomeric strap members (22) comprising an integral monofilament strand (80) for transverse reinforcement and stability. Buttons (50, 52) adapted for releasable attachment to the garment are bonded to the strap member. Substantially continous end seals (90) that are bontiguous with the end edges of each strap member have a width dimension at least as great as an effective monofilament strand width. Fabric strands of the strap members are bonded to one another in the end seals to substantially immobilize the monofilament strand. Particular features contain the monofilament strand in a manner that reduces the tendency of the ends of the strap members to curl under during use.
