I dunno.  Mine is certainly made of some sort of "string."  But I don't find
it uncomfortable (maybe I'm not quite as old as soft as you <g>).  It has
removably plastic "spreaders" at each end; if you take them off, it's even
lighter and smaller to pack, but I liked the spreaders, as they keep the
ends wider and make entry easier.  I've not checked out the KTP website, but
I have the impression that a lot of items in there come and go with
availability. . . .
