This tie-down loop strap style is excellent for securing loads on trailers, roof racks, etc. Loop straps are better for securing gear because you do not need as long a strap as you would with a cam strap. There is no doubling over to get secure loads. Simply hook one loop end to one side of the load, then hook the other end to the other side and secure with the buckle of your choice. Our advice is to use loop straps with cam buckles for everyday use. If, for any reason, you need to have an extremely tight tie-down, go with the ratchet buckle. Either way, you have your choice of ANY length in ANY of our wide selection of colors. We also currently offer 19 different hardware colors.[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]Choosing the Buckle Pad option will add a sewn section ofBlack Heavyweight Polypropylene under the buckle area to protect anythingbeneath it from scratching.
