I was anxious for these straps to reduce the amount of hassle that goes along with ratchets. My friend uses a cam-style pro-taper strap which I was impressed by so I purchased these. The look and feel, visually-apparent build quality, and robust webbing looked great and I was excited to use them.First use, one of the straps simply would not hold adequate tension to keep my dirt bike upright. I figured maybe the material was slippery since the webbing is just new and lacked friction from wear (which shouldnt be required, anyway but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt) so I backed the cam element up with half hitches. This was fine for road use, albeit frustrating. On the trail, the strap had to be retensioned a couple times, which I find is unacceptable.I consider myself a reasonable consumer with realistic expectations, and ultimately I found the device offered no convenience benefit over my old ratchet straps. I will be trying a peg-based retention system, like MotoCinch or BikeBinderz.
