This is a nifty little bungee cord for tethering items, strapping/tying things down, holding light to medium cargo, etc. It's has the functionality of a typical bungee cord, but with additional features. The way the product is looped over to create a series of loops along the length adds versatility. You can hook additional straps off these loops, or wrap it around a cross bar/rack and back through itself on one end and use the included carabiner on the other end, or any other configuration you can think off. The cord wrap helps store these while not in use, but is strong enough to hold one loop to another loop to allow easy adjustments to your tie down needs. These are great for cargo, tethering things to hold against the wind, tying down tarps and covers, etc, etc. I like the molded fabric zipper case for storing this while not in use, it keeps the cord from tangling up in the rest of your gear, though it can be a little difficult to fold the cord just such to fit it back in the case. This is cord is pretty strong, comparable in strength to a run-of-the-mill rubber bungee cord, making it okay for interior cargo, and light exterior tie down needs. I suggest using their thicker version for heavier cargo tie down needs. These are very multi-use, faster to use than a typical ratchet strap, and these won't damage your vehicle's paint the way a ratchet strap can. If you are considering this cord to replace your ratchet strap needs, definitely consider the thicker version, as it will offer greater strength and holding power.
