If you’ve spent any time in the backcountry—or even just packing for a day at the resort—you’ve probably seen ski straps in action. Whether bundled around gear, securing skis to a roof rack, or holding together an emergency repair, a good ski strap is one of the most useful, overlooked tools in any outdoor setup.

Among the best on the market? The Voile Strap®, trusted for over 30 years and now available with Gravity Grabber branding for even more versatility.

What is a Ski Strap, Exactly?

A ski strap is a simple tool: usually a strip of durable, stretchable material with a buckle on one end. But don’t let the simplicity fool you—these things are incredibly strong, flexible, and surprisingly multi-functional.

Originally designed to keep skis together during transport, they’ve since found a place in nearly every outdoor adventure, from splitboarding to snowmobiling, backcountry skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and even on job sites.

Why Voile Straps® Stand Out

The Gravity Grabber® - Voile Straps® are made from high-quality polyurethane, giving them a perfect balance of strength and stretch. This material is tough, weather-resistant, and includes a UV-resistant additive, which significantly extends the lifespan of the strap—even with regular exposure to sun, snow, and rain.

The heat-treated aluminum buckle has a low-profile design that makes it easy to pack and incredibly durable in rough conditions. Whether you're securing gear in freezing temps or stashing one in your backpack “just in case,” these ski straps are built for whatever you throw at them.

The Ultimate Duct Tape Replacement

Over the past three decades, Voile Straps® have earned a reputation as the ultimate replacement for duct tape, bungee cords, and nylon straps. Why? Because they work better.

Where duct tape leaves residue or fails in cold weather, Voile Straps® hold strong. Where bungee cords stretch out or snap under tension, Voile Straps® stay secure. Where nylon webbing slips or requires complicated knots, Voile Straps® tighten in seconds and don’t budge.

The result is a tool you’ll use more than you expect—especially in environments where durability, simplicity, and speed matter.

Limitless Uses, One Simple Strap

Here’s just a short list of what you can do with a Gravity Grabber - Voile Strap®:

• Bundle skis, poles, or snowboards for easy carrying or storage

• Secure gear to packs or roof racks

• Strap paddles, tools, or mops to garage walls or storage racks

• Repair broken bindings or snowshoes in the field

• Hold tent poles or rolled-up tarps tightly together

• Attach water bottles or pouches to bike frames or belts

• Organize extension cords or hoses in the garage

And that’s just scratching the surface. Many people keep a couple in every pack, vehicle, or tool drawer because once you’ve used one, it’s hard to go back to anything else.

Have a creative use? Gravity Grabber wants to hear about it—these straps are made for ingenuity.

Why You Should Always Have One on Hand

In the outdoors, versatility wins. A strap that can repair a binding in the backcountry, then bundle your skis for the ride home, and later hang your garden tools in the garage? That’s not just convenient—it’s essential.

The Gravity Grabber-branded Voile Strap® is a minimalist’s dream: lightweight, compact, and endlessly useful. Whether you're a skier, mountain biker, hiker, paddler, or gear junkie, it’s one of the best pieces of backup gear you can carry.

It’s also built to last. Unlike duct tape or plastic zip ties, a Voile Strap® is a one-time investment that can be reused hundreds of times without breaking down.

Final Thoughts

Not all ski straps are created equal. The Gravity Grabber - Voile Strap® stands out for its durability, grip, and endless uses—both on the mountain and far beyond. It’s a piece of gear that’s earned its place in every garage, backpack, and gear bin.

Need to bundle, repair, organize, or secure something? You’ve got the strap for that.
