My husband tested this CHAOREN elastic stretch nylon ratchet strap in two sets. He only discovered ratchet straps in recent years and loves to wear them. Most of his belts are leather and I thought he might try these everyday stretch nylon belts. The first thing that caught his eye was the gorgeous black zinc alloy buckles that look sleek and modern. He then appreciated that the two-piece set included black and blue belts that easily matched his outfit. He said that blue is more of a dark blue than a light blue. Regarding the description "elastic stretch", my husband did not find any elastic on any of the straps. He actually prefers them to be firm as they are, but wanted to point that out in case anyone is considering getting these straps for their stretchy properties. Aside from not stretching, the straps feel strong and durable. The strap material is pulled through the buckle and releases when the buckle lever is pulled, similar to its leather ratchet straps. The nylon straps have no notches, so you won't hear a click when you pull them through. Nylon straps hold securely and work great. Overall, my husband was satisfied with these 2 packs of CHAOREN nylon ratchet straps.
