The LockDown strap uses polyester webbing, which has higher break strength, less stretch and better UV and water resistance than common polypropylene straps. A custom rubber cover over the cam buckle cushions it against the boat and vehicle when you throw the strap over and cinch it down on a roof rack or trailer.

Good to know
