Where cable ties bind permanently, bungee cords hold things under tension and let go again — ideal for anything you need to secure now and free later. They strap a load to a roof rack or bike, tension a tarp into a shelter, hold a car boot shut, or lash bulky gear to a pack. The stretch does the work, gripping firmly without knots.
A set of assorted lengths with sturdy hooks is one of those quietly useful additions to a car and camping kit: reusable, quick, and capable of securing loads that rope or ties handle less easily. They pack small and last for years.
Use them to secure loads for transport, rig or tension a tarp shelter, hold down a boot lid or bonnet over an oversized load, or strap gear to a pack, bike or roof bars. The carabiner-hook types clip quickly to anchor points and release just as fast when you're done.
A range of short and long cords lets you match the tension and reach to the job, from a small bundle to a full roof load.
Carabiner-style or coated metal hooks grip anchor points firmly and won't ping off under tension — the usual weak point of cheap bungees.
A quality elastic core keeps its stretch and strength for years rather than perishing and going slack after a season outdoors.
A cord stretched past its limit can snap back dangerously. Choose a length that reaches with some slack rather than straining a short cord to breaking point.
A bungee under tension can whip a hook into your face if it slips. Keep control of both ends when hooking and unhooking, and shield your eyes.
