Why NRS Straps are the Best Cam Strap You Can Buy Born on the river, ready for whatever. First sold in 1978 as a better way to tie down gear and frames on whitewater rafts, the NRS 1" Heavy Duty Strap… Read More

NRS Straps are the industry standard when it comes to a robust strap that will stand up to UV light and wet / dry cycles.

Before the founder of NRS invented these now ubiquitous straps, people were still using rope or tubular webbing. The big issue with these materials is that they expand and stretch when wet, then tighten back up when they dry.

This wasn’t ideal in a river / wet environment because ropes and webbing would be untrustworthy if you were using them to tie anything down that was heavy or could move easily. Even if you’re not in these environments, and are using NRS Straps to tie down light truck loads, the benefits of a static strap are noticeable.

There was a high water year on the Salmon River in Idaho with a number of fatalities. It was believed these could have been avoided had there been a better option to secure gear, and an effective way to release them in an emergency situation.

That’s when NRS adapted the simple yet extremely effective cam buckle from the freight industry, sourced from Germany. This buckle grips the strap like nothing else. You’ll notice the difference if you try using other cam straps: they often slip under load, especially if the strap is wet. Also, these other cheaper straps wear down quicker.

Whether you’re securing your raft frame to your raft, or boats to the roof of your vehicle, you want as secure a platform as possible and that’s exactly what the NRS Strap excels at.

For the strap, it was originally sourced from Spain and UV treated so it still stood up, even when exposed to sunlight for a long time. You’ll appreciate the difference after a long raft trip or when transporting gear on your vehicle: everything will be exactly how you first set it up!

So whether you’re rafting, transporting large items, or just need straps for around the house, you cannot go wrong with the NRS Strap. They are without rival and will stand up to anything you throw at them!

NRS Straps come in the following lengths: 3,4,6,9,12,15,20 feet.
