I had a pair of these I have used to strap 2 windsurfers on my racks for 20 years and they still work perfectly. Recently i was looking for some additional straps. Every offering of other brands at the hardware and big box stores was super whimpy lightweight straps and mediocre buckles. I found the Dakines on Amazon and ordered another pair. OMG, the quality is even better than my first pair. Super heavy duty straps and beefy clamps. I would trust my life to these straps. Get a pair and lashing stuff on your car becomes so easy compared to ropes.TIPS:Tip 1) This tip is pretty basic but not so obvious when people first start using straps. When strapping onto car racks, hold onto the clamp end of strap and position it about 8” above near crossbar. Throw the lose end (no clamp!) over your gear, around crossbar on other side of car, and throw back over gear back to starting point, then around near crossbar, and back up to clamp. Thread lose end through clamp. Now you can use your weight to pull down on the lose end and tighten things. Secure witha few half hitches for insurance. This is much much easier than trying to tighten by pulling up on the lose end. Probably hard to understand what I am saying. Sorry.Tip 2- most people will try and get all the twists out of their straps. I argue that a few twists are better. Without any twist the straps are more prone to hum and vibrate in the wind like a reed in a clarinet. Vibrating straps will weaken and fray your straps over time. A twist prevents vibrating.These are great straps!  Read Less
