    It's becaus they are cheap. The good quality ones don't break under load in the cold

    The white ones can get brittle from just laying exposed to the light (sun). The black ones are UV stabilized and have a higher pound pull rating....

    That's good to know, I thought they were just different by color. I always use the limegreen ones from uline never had one break, now I'm using the white ones and one break yesterday, guess I will switch back to the limegreen ones
