I purchased these straps for a bike trip across Florida and down to Key West on my Gold Wing. I specifically shoes these straps for the all steel buckle and the the length of straps. Everything was perfect. The buckle was fast, simple, and most importantly secure. There was a lot of wind sheer on this ride that included strapping a cooler to my luggage rack on the back of the bike. I also was strapping a large waterproof bag behind me and used the extra straps for compression straps inside the bag around cloths. Again fast and secure tie down every time. I would buy these again and recommend them to a friend.
