I bought these straps because I lost one piece of my Mako rack strap system. I ended up finding the Mako-specific piece where I'd misplaced it, but these straps are great to have even if you use your rack-specific straps. You never know when you'll need to secure an extra kayak, other outdoor gear, etc, or make up for a lost or broken strap. The padded latch system is particular nice - no worries about scratching or denting your car, and it is easy to grip to loosen straps.

The Yakima heavy duty straps are the best tie down straps on the market. Simple to use and the buckle is protected with a rubber jacket. The rubber jacket protects your vehicles paint from chipping when you throw the buckle accross the top of the vehicle. Fasten and secure the strap with only one pull to lock the strap. To open just press the bar and the strap will release. I use these straps to hold down two extension ladders to the top of my truck rack. I love these straps. Been using these for years with no problems.
