THULE Locking Strap Size: 120″

I have spend a few years with the nylon straps and had alot of ussues with them sliding loose. Then I bought another brand with the locking feature. The other brand was slightly less money but the straps were stiff, had sharp fibers and hard to use. I am glad I finally bought the Thule straps. The straps are smooth and flexible so very easy to use. Totally worth it.

When locked, it’s still possible to loosen the straps by a few millimetres, which in some applications would make wriggling some assets free possible. I’m also not sure how difficult it really would be to simply cut through the straps. But they do work pretty well, look better than the ropes I was using before, and I’ve driven from Austin to San Francisco with them on the roof, and they’re still as good as new, so I’m keeping mine. I’m just not sure I’d recommend them for preventing truly valuable assets from getting nicked, considering they cost eighty bucks themselves.
