What Are Gravity Straps—and Why Are They Everywhere?
You might not realize it yet, but once you’ve used Gravity Straps, there’s no going back. Whether you're on the trail, in the garage, or deep in a gear shed, these rugged, endlessly useful straps solve problems duct tape, bungees, and nylon webbing simply can’t.
So, what are Gravity Straps exactly? They’re a tough, minimalist solution for bundling, securing, or fixing just about anything—made by Gravity Grabber in collaboration with Voile, the company that’s been perfecting this design for over 30 years.
Built for the Wild—and Built to Last
Gravity Straps are made from stretchy yet indestructible polyurethane, infused with UV-resistant additives to hold up against sun, snow, and grit. Unlike standard straps that degrade with exposure or snap under pressure, Gravity Straps are designed to endure whatever your adventure throws at them.
The heat-treated aluminum buckle has a slim, low-profile design that’s easy to pack and won’t add bulk to your kit. It’s strong enough to handle serious tension but sleek enough to stow neatly when not in use.
Why Gravity Straps Beat the Alternatives
Let’s talk comparisons. Gravity Straps have earned their reputation as the go-to solution for people who need gear that works every time:
- Vs. Duct Tape: No residue, no tearing, no mess. Plus, they’re reusable.
- Vs. Bungee Cords: No bounce, no tangled hooks, and way more control.
- Vs. Nylon Straps: Faster to use, more compact, and far more versatile.
They offer just the right amount of stretch—tight enough to secure gear without crushing it, flexible enough to wrap around oddly shaped objects.
Limitless Uses, Zero Fuss
The best part? Gravity Straps can do just about anything. Whether you’re:
- Strapping skis to a roof rack
- Bundling firewood at camp
- Securing a camera tripod on a backpack
- Attaching a fishing rod to a bike frame
- Quick-fixing a busted gear loop or snapped tent pole
These straps adapt to the situation. If you can wrap it, they can secure it.
And if you invent a wild new use (someone always does), Gravity Grabber wants to hear about it. Every strap is an invitation to problem-solve creatively—on the go, in the backcountry, or in your daily garage grind.
A Tool You’ll Never Want to Leave Behind
Ask any guide, mechanic, skier, or builder—the gear that stays in your pack the longest is the gear that’s most useful. Gravity Straps fall squarely in that category. They’re small, tough, simple, and endlessly reusable.
It’s one of those items you grab once and suddenly start relying on everywhere. Around the house. On the job site. In the mountains. It becomes second nature.
Final Word
Gravity Straps aren’t flashy. They don’t have moving parts or a complicated design. But that’s exactly the point. These polyurethane powerhouses do one thing exceptionally well: they hold your life together when you need it most.
Tough, versatile, and surprisingly addictive to use, Gravity Straps are a no-brainer addition to your everyday carry or gear kit. Once you’ve used one, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.
