MTB Strap-On gear strap


The Strap-On is a simple ‘lash your kit to your frame’ option that wins if you like an obviously handmade (in Cornwall), rough-and-ready vibe with tons of colour-matching options. It comes in standard or XL (pictured) sizes and is made to order with the webbing and double back buckle colour of your choice. There are no rubber loops to hold kit onto the strap (like on the more expensive Backcountry Research and Louri options) so you need to crank it up tight for security. A smear of silicone stops it sliding round on your frame, though, and so far our sample hasn’t ejected anything despite us taking it down some pretty rough trails.

Price $11-$16
