Product spotlight, Tie Down Strap Sack

The strap sack installs in minutes and keeps the "tails" of the straps from blowing in the wind.

Once in a while a product comes along that is so simple yet so practical, it makes you wonder why it took so long for someone to develop it and bring it to market. The product I am am talking about is the Tie Down Strap Sack.  Over the course of a month I have had a chance to use and live with the product, below are details and a review.

What it is: A simple yet effective way to eliminate tangles straps in storage.  It also doubles as a secure storage area for the unused “tail” of the strap while it is in use.

Price: 1″ Strap Width Tie Down Storage Bags 2 Pack $6.99 – 2-2.5″ Strap Width Tie Down Storage Bags 2 pack $12.99

Your choice of colors- Black, Red, Orange, Blue

Just insert the "wad" of excess strap into the bag

Pros: Easy to use and install on your existing straps.  Semi-permanent installation-as in you can remove it and install it on another strap should that strap break.  Durable, the sack is made of UV resistant and tear resistant nylon (similar to tent material only thicker) drawstring is made of parachute cord.  In my testing I dragged it across the ground at 30 mph simulating accelerated abrasion from normal use and the sack did not tear or fail.  Universal, with the two different sizes of sacks these can be installed on nearly every type of strap (ratcheting or friction type).  Price that can not be beat for eliminating headaches storing and using your straps.

Cons: No wide distribution (yet).  Currently the only place to purchase these is on their website and Amazon.  Don’t expect to find this product in nation wide distributors like Tucker Rocky, Parts Unlimited, Dennis Kirk, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, Norther Tool ect…

Pull the drawstring tight to close the loose tail in the bag.

Conclusion: As simple as this product is, it works as advertised and exceeded my expectations.  I plan on buying enough for all my straps to save the headaches associated with storage and where to tie the loose ends when strapping down my stuff.  The video from their website explains it pretty effectively.  Now if the major distributors of ATV and Motorcycle related accessories would pickup the product line more people could try this simple yet ingenious product.
