The straps, which originally come from heli-based locomotion, are used for quick, safe and easy attachment of winter sports equipment and are a favorite of every freerider and other athlete.
But first things first. This versatile attachment tool originally comes from the heliskiing sector, where people try to have as few individual parts (sources of danger) as possible in order to be able to load and unload the heli quickly. The very simple and at the same time super practical fastening option was then gradually used by "normal" winter sports enthusiasts and is now an all-round tool for outdoor sports enthusiasts. The inventive freerider quickly realized that this simple polyurethane strap with aluminium or plastic buckle could be used for more than just transporting and fastening gliding wood. The strap is small, light, extremely tear-resistant and easy to use even when wearing gloves. It can be lengthened as required by tying it together so that larger objects can also be secured.
A story from the life of a ski strap....
On the way to the outdoor adventure, it all starts: the sports equipment must be attached to the car rack
or, in spring, optionally to the bike. If you start the car and notice that the exhaust is about to fall off, it can also be fixed with the strap and nothing stands in the way of a carefree ride into the fun. Once you arrive at your destination, experienced ski tourers will notice that they only have one ski skin with them, but can use three ski straps as replacements. The upper ski boot buckle breaks during the ascent and the shaft is fixed with a ski strap for the descent. My colleague and friend is a snowboarder and has a broken binding strap. He is happy to have a rescue ski strap on the descent. Arriving at the bivouac hut, a pair of first-track thieves who are wanted worldwide are observed through the window playing sadomasochistic whipping games with the ski strap. However, the criminals are quickly overpowered, reported to the powder police and taken away in handcuffs. The excitement of this eventful day on the strap makes you feel less hungry, the pasta you brought with you is not used up, but the bag is closed again with a strap. In the morning, the misplaced dreadlock hairband is replaced with a strap, the gear on the backpack is also fastened with a ski strap and the steep face is tackled. For easier handling, the ice axe is connected directly to the ski pole and two straps. The steps can be short or long, as the skis are attached to the backpack and the tips are tied together with a strap. In the deepest wilderness, you come across a yeti who has had an accident and whose open wound is tied with the strap. His broken bone is fixed with a branch of the powder tree and a few straps.....
How do you use the straps? Who can take the story further? We are curious!
