OK, maybe only MacGyver or Kyle Miller could find 1,348 uses for these straps but when things go wrong in the backcountry you’d be surprised with what you can come up with. These lightweight accessories are made from a tough stretchable polyurethane with either an aluminum or polycarbonate buckle. While zip ties, bungie cords and duct tape are necessities for the home and car, these baby’s belong in every backcountry riders pack!
Voile straps are available in 9″, 12″, 15″, 18″, 24″ and 32″
G3 straps are available in 14″, 16″, 20″, and 26″.
Here’s how they work:
-
- Insert the end through the slot.
-
- Pull taught stretching the strap. Pull the strap back allowing one of the holes to slide over the pin on the buckle.
