I never stop finding reasons to use these short (2') straps. On and off the water, they seem to be used constantly. They are mandatory for my cataraft, but are used in many other applications. Even if you don't have a cat, I recommend buying a bunch of these 2 foot goodies.

Not a bad-looking strap, but very disappointed because I try to buy Made in the USA every time I shop. I was under the impression these were, but, sure enough, there is a big "Made in China" stamp on the back. Next time, I will buy from someone who manufactures here in the U.S.

The best straps available. Tie down well with these suckers and you will not lose your gear when the boat is wrong way up in the Grand Canyon.

Comments about NRS 1" HD Tie-Down Strap:
We got these straps to replace the ones that came with a Swiss Gear kayak rack. The NRS straps seem to be of a much more durable material, and have worked well so far. The only downside is that they are a bit shorter than what came with our rack (10 ft.), but the 12-foot straps would just be way too long. On the upside, the clasps hold really strongly, and since the straps themselves are pretty heavy, they hold nicely.

We use these straps to tie down our boats on the trailer when travelling to regattas. The straps are of great quality and we are returning customers who have never been disappointed.

Q:
how long are these straps? I need the 1inch wide.Asked on 4/29/2013 by chad from buffalo ny11 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
Those are the 1" straps in the picture. The length is printed right on the strap next to the NRS logo in feet. So a strap that shows NRS-1 is a 1 foot long strap.Answered on 5/3/2013 by Anonymous

Chad, click on the drop down box in the Add to Cart for all the sizes.Answered on 4/30/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
They are up to 20 ft. They are the best.Answered on 4/30/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I'm not sure this is a serious question, but just in case it is I'll give a serious answer: Each strap is the length shown on the strap. The NRS-1 is a one foot strap. The NRS-2 is a 2 foot strap. The NRS-12 is a 12 foot strap, etc. You order the length(s) you want.VERIFIED BUYER
A:
The number behind "NRS" is the length of the strap... It look like you are looking at 1" wide too.Answered on 4/30/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
They are all marked at intervals along the strap with length in feet. As you
can see from product image the range from 1 to 20 feet. Figure out how long
you need and get that size. Then when strapping up your boat you can reach
for the exact size you need at each attachment point.VERIFIED BUYER
A:
Hi Chad !
Looking at the NRS website, the tie-down straps come in nine different
sizes, from 1 foot to 20 foot. 1 foot = 30,5 cm. So you got a good
variety. I have plenty of them and they last very long.

They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 20 feet long, you tell them how long you want, these are all 1 inch, and they are the best straps!Answered on 4/29/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
They are the length printed on the strap - NRS-1 is 1 ft, NRS -2 is 2 ft, NRS-4 is 4 ft, etc.
They are all 1 inch in lengthAnswered on 4/29/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

They are 1 inch wide, click on the the box that says "size" a pull down
menu will appear and select the length you need. They come in many lengths.Answered on 4/29/2013 by Anonymous

Q:
We'll be using these in a salt water environment. How corrosion resistant are the buckles? Stainless steel?
Thanks

A:
Not SS and yes they will corrode in salt water.Answered on 12/21/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Brian,
The buckles are not stainless steel. The buckles are resistant to corrosion. However if you do not rinse them with fresh water after each use in saltwater and keep them lubricated/protected with a anti-corrosion compound like LPS-3 they will eventually corrode.Answered on 12/28/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Quick answer is that they should hold up pretty well. I'd definitely rinse
them after each use. The problems would likely come around the spring and
little crevices that may lose the smooth action.Answered on 12/21/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I have used them for many years but only in a fresh water environment. I do put a little lubricant on the cam during winter time and have yet to see any rust. The straps have never failed or become loose while holding my boats on Yakima racks or on our trailer. (knock on wood)

The buckle body is aluminum. However the hinge pin and double springs are stainless steel. Longer term exposure to saltwater will lead to corrosion. Frequent rinsing in fresh water and applying something like WD-40 will slow down corrosion.Answered on 12/21/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
They are not stainless and will rust out eventually. Stainless will too, in salt water, though, so I would just go by cost of replacement and be very very careful to inspect regularly if they are going to hold anything important.Answered on 12/21/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
not sure- probably not long term...think aluminum for the buckles. They'd
be fine short term.Answered on 12/21/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

Brian:
The buckles are not stainless, but they do hold up well to corrosion. I’m not sure how you intend to use them in salt water, but if you are boating in salt water, then transport the boat/craft home and rinse the buckles with fresh water, you will be fine.

A:
Since the buckels are Cast Alum, I think they will hold up fine. especially
when compared to any other strap I've used. I would suggest Corrosion X
spray if you do have a problem.Answered on 12/21/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Brian-I have only used them in fresh water-river rafting and they work great. I also use longer ones to strap down my surfboards and paddle boards on top off my truck. I do not have any problem with them and can recommend them to you. RonAnswered on 12/21/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
We use them sea kayaking. The buckles resist corrosion but the pin that forms the hinge will corrode. If you rinse them well after using them, they should be fine for a few years.Answered on 12/21/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
My use is mostly fresh water rivers.
Have had some of these as long as 20+years. Never thrown one away.
Carry them always and use them all the time for all sorts of tie downs.
Strap material should be resistant.
I believe buckles are aluminum alloy so won't rust but will probably spot and might need care. I usually spray a little 401 if cams get sticky.
Clears that right up.
Not sure about springs. Never had those rust.
Not sure I'd recommend for long term fastening and leaving for weeks or longer in salt water or such environment.
Good product...Might want to buy a couple to test for your application.
Hope this helps.

I use them in a brackish and a salt water environment for kayaks, SUP and Sunfish. These straps have held up the best and I haven't had a problem at all with the buckles. I haven't seen any corrosion and I've had them a couple years.Answered on 12/22/2012 by Anonymous
