Short and sweet: the award for the best-looking tie-down straps goes to Hiko. Let's be honest — these colour combos are a real eye-catcher. But they don't just look great, they do what they're supposed to do — your kayak won't be escaping from the roof rack. (As long as you know what you're doing when strapping down, of course).
So you can tell the lengths apart in the chaos of a kayaker's car, they're colour-coded: red = 3 m, blue = 5 m.
The hard facts:
- Length: red = 3 m, blue = 5 m
- Buckle: metal
- Padding under buckle: to prevent scratches
- Rubber band: to hold the rolled-up strap together
- Price: per piece
