Review on Nite Ize Gear Tie - Pack of 16 Assorted Sizes: A Versatile Organizational Solution by Gabe Ries

These are the best things after sliced bread. I wish I could invent them. Despite being incredibly simple, each of their few features is perfectly implemented. A tie's "flexibility" is just the right balance of flexibility for ease of use and stiffness for holding power. The stickiness and texture of the case material is just right for keeping things in place without slipping. And the end caps are great for keeping the ends from slipping out when tucked under something. I took them on a 3 week trip to Europe and used them as clothespins to tie a clothesline to a battery, to attach a souvenir poster and small plastic bag to my shoulder bag while sightseeing, and as a stand for my Nexus 7th tablet, to temporarily secure the fold of the shoulder strap, to shorten it, to wrap folded USB charging cables, to zip up my luggage for security and more. I will take them with me on every trip or hike. Highly recommended.
