Claim 15:
16. An attachment device defining first and second surfaces, and further defining first and second ends to a length of the attachment device, the attachment device comprising:
an elongate section having first and second portions defined along the length of the attachment device, the second portion defining the second end of the attachment device;
a head section extending from the first portion of the elongate section, the head section defining the first end of the attachment device;

wherein the head section has a profile forming a tip;
wherein the traction element corresponds to the profile of the head section with first and second ends of the traction element on opposed side edges of the head section;
wherein the traction element is spaced away by a predetermined distance from the profile of the head section;
wherein the traction element defines a different color from a color of the first surface of the head section;
wherein the traction element is formed from a polymeric material, and the head section and the elongate section are formed from a textile;
wherein the traction element is arranged as being pliable and capable of bending along with the head section, the traction element being more rigid than the head section;
