Gear of the Week | The best ski strap ever

The ultimate anti-gaper tape

by Knut Pohl 02/01/2012
Nothing is more annoying and embarrassing than when your skis don't want to stay together, you try desperately and unstylishly to keep them together and yet when you get on the gondola, the whole bunch of skis flops in front of your feet to the applause and cheering of all those present. Proper ski straps are therefore essential for being a sick freerider if you don't want to lose your hardcore reputation before the day's skiing has even begun.

Nothing is more annoying and embarrassing than when your skis don't want to stay together, you try desperately and unstylishly to keep them together and yet, when you get on the gondola, the whole bunch of skis flops in front of your feet to the applause and cheering of all those present. Proper ski straps are therefore essential for being a sick freerider if you don't want to lose your hardcore reputation before the day's skiing even begins.

One of the best ski straps I have ever come across are the Ski and Utility Straps from G3. These polyurethane straps are flexible, even in the cold, quick and easy to use and extremely robust. Simply wrap around the ski, thread through the buckle and pull. The skis are already securely tied. It's quick and easy, even with thick gloves. And even faster. What's more, the straps are long enough that you can use them to attach things to your backpack or even tinker with something in an emergency. And strong enough to strap skis to the roof rack. And they are available in four lengths from 35 to 65 cm. The long versions in particular are excellent for wide skis and other areas of use.

In all honesty: nobody needs more ski straps.
