If anything is better than duct tape it is Voile Straps. Made of tough stretch polyurethane and a hardened aluminum buckle, Voile Straps have many uses. You should always carry a few Voile Straps when traveling in the backcountry. A-frame skis on your pack, fix a pesky climbing skin(been there done that when the skins get soaked in the spring and won't stick anymore or tip loops fail), hold your shovel and probe together and of course hold your skis together for transport. Truly something that every skier or snowboarder should have in their pack or car at all times. I have used these more times that I can remember for so many uses it's crazy. You can even use these to hook your foot to your ski to get out of the BC(binding failure happens to the best of them so it's times like these that you need something like this when you are miles from the car or even at the lift area and failure happens on the way down the hill...it's better than walking). Available in 9"/23cm, 12"/30cm, 15"/38cm, 18"/46cm, and 24"/61cm. 9 inch length strap uses a tough nylon strap buckle. Features: Stretch Polyurethane Hardened aluminum buckle Must have for just about anyone...better than duct tape(hiding from the lightning bolt now ;-) )
