Length of jesses
Each set of jesses is custom made to the length you require. As a rough guide, typical lengths are 4" or 5" for a small bird (e.g. Merlin), 6" for a tiercel, 7" for a falcon and 8" for a hawk. If in doubt, let us know what bird you have and the diameter of the block or type of perch that you are using.
Dacron or Dyneema?
The Dacron is imported from the USA and has a 130lb breaking strain per strand (or 80lb for the micro sets).
The Dyneema has a 300lb breaking strain per strand.
The Dyneema is available in a wider range of colours, but the colours can fade with use. Dacron will hold the colour better.
Personally, I use both Dacron and Dyneema on my birds. I prefer the Dacron sets as they are stiffer. I use the Dyneema sets on birds that pick at their equipment, as it is a more difficult material to cut through.
Both materials are used by many falconers, and it is really just a matter of personal preference as both have good qualities.
