Brooks-Range 12” Backcountry Ski Straps (Set of 2): Quite possibly the most useful lengths of rubber you will ever own, the Brooks Range Backcountry Ski Straps are best used in the backcountry trekking to tie something down, or hold equipment together, or make on the go repairs. Brooks-Range Ski Straps and a bit of Duct Tape should have you trekking in MacGyver style. Here are just a few good uses: tying skis to packs, replacing a broken tip-loop on climbing skins, or strapping a snow saw to a shovel shaft.
