NRS 12' Buckle Bumper Strap Pair Iconic Blue

I purchased 8 NRS (Northwest River Supplies) 15 foot x 1inch wide rubberized thumb clamp straps to secure my 50lb Lifetime Guster kayak (10 feet long) to the roof of my suv. They have performed perfectly. There is lot of excess strap so 12 feet is plenty long. I use the excess to tie knots with contiguous straps in the event of strap failure or clamp failure (both highly unlikely as these are well made). They are also UV resistant but can fray over time. You can buy the strap without the rubber protector around the clamp but it prevents the steel of the clamp from scratching your water craft and is low added cost. Highly recommend. I have 3 bilateral holes on my roof rack in addition to front and rear kayak handles so 5 belts could do the job safely if cinched tightly (correctly).

Used to anchor kayak to truck roof easy to use very sturdy

Perfect for 1 canoe on the roof racks of my suv

NRS straps are the best. They don't stretch, and they last forever. Don't bother with nylon straps as they need constant readjusting because they stretch. NTS poly straps stay put. Also, it's worth it to get the straps with the rubber bumpers on them to keep from scratching your car if your a kayaked. I keep some in my car because they have so many good uses

When your cargo absolutely, positively has to make it to your destination strapped to your roof rack overnight....go with the top of the line...don't risk your high-end fishing kayak, cargo, surfboards, SUP's to the cheapest straps on the market...get something you can trust to hold tight! High quality, solid clasp clam/jaws, and heavy duty webbing. Worth the extra $$ for peace of mind.
