I’ve been using Fixplus straps since I started bikepacking in 2022 and now swear by them!

 

They come in many sizes and can be used to secure all kinds of items to the bike, or for holding heavy things together.

 

They work by having a small amount of stretch in the belt (but nowhere near enough to make it snap), which then pulls back against what you’re holding once you’ve found the correct hole for the belt.

 

I’ve seen they’re good for holding skis together (for backcountry skiing missions) and strapping things to your bike. They’re super affordable and great for many different uses.

 

Top tip: use an elastic hair tie or rubber bands to tidy away the remainder of the belt once it’s secured, to keep things tidy and stop it from getting tied up.
