It's almost what I expected. However, they are a bit thinner than I expected. I can load more than the advertised maximum load of 30 pounds and the clasp hasn't come loose. It's fine for its intended purpose: tying up light 2x4 bundles or similar to throw in a vehicle. Based on my experience with Class IV whitewater attachments, they fit in a small pack of customer dry bags. Anything more and I would recommend a heavier strap.
