Leo,
Good news. You don't need a "good" dew strap system.
A really cheap mediocre one will do just fine. In 2016, I bought a $15 USB jacket off eBay. I thought I'd get a couple of years out of it, 8 years later, still going strong. They now cost the princely sum of $23 each.

At a pinch, a chemical hand warmer pack held in place with a compression strap works fine as a makeshift dew heater.
