Thule Locking Strap 2020

I have always used Thule straps and over the years have been very happy with their durability and function. After moving out of the parents house and into an apartment I have lost the ability to have a garage at the moment. All last year I was making the 30 minute commute to grab my yak before going paddling, but not anymore! I have already been paddling 3 times by using my car as my garage, which is likely a similar amount as all of last year. Now, I know having your boat on the roof can be bad but it can't be any worse than not using it at all! These straps lock securely and you can't even tell they have metal running through them (other than they are a little heavier). The straps are easy to use and offer a pretty long length for whatever you need to use them for. I took a 1/2 star off as I expected the housing to not be plastic which is a bummer, but so far has not been an issue. Overall I recommend these straps.Hide
