All About Ski Carriers & Straps

Ski Straps or Ski Carriers –  Which do you use?

Skiing is a pleasurable experience. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about carrying the skis and poles up the icy slopes and around the resort with your hands.  A Ski Carrier offers a way out of this difficulty by way of tying the skis together. These straps ensure a variety of benefits.

Ensures Balance

Skiweb ski carrier can be carried on your back or shoulder. You may keep both hands free and use them for balance as you negotiate your way on the snowy inclines.

Effortless Packing

It is easy to pack the skis and the poles with most ski carriers. For your children, you may get a ski carrier without buckles. They may pack their skis into the ski carrier without taking help from an adult.

Single Unit

All the items of the skiing gear are packed together into a single package. As a result, you are less likely to misplace an item.

Is not a Nuisance

As the entire gear is carried vertically, it does not get in the way of other people.

Skiing stores provide an assortment of skiing straps. The straps differ in adjustment techniques and the basic materials used. Each variety has its own set of merits and shortcomings. You may study the features of the different types available before getting a few for your skiing vacation.    

The Simple Velcro Straps – Ski Straps At Skiweb  ski straps

All versions of this type of ski carrier incorporate a wraparound method of holding the skis together and securing them with Velcro straps provided. Most of them consist of a couple of Velcro bands.

Alternatively Ski Carriers can be slung on the shoulder while others are carried by hand. In many varieties, a soft padding is provided on the inner side of the bands to pack the skis well. Ski carriers of this sort are suitable for children as they can pack and unpack them without hassle.

An added advantage of this variety is that you do not have to worry about where to keep them when you are skiing down the slopes. They can be folded into a small size and kept in a pocket of your ski pants.

Ski carriers with buckles

A ski carrier with buckles offers a very secure way of holding your skis and poles. Once you have mastered the art of adjusting the buckles, you may strap them up effortlessly. The buckles may be of plastic, steel or aluminium. An elastic band is used to hold the skis and poles in a more secure manner in some ski carriers with buckles.  Skiweb ski carriers have no buckles.

The Materials Used for Ski Carriers

The material used to make the straps is generally nylon, polyurethane or polypropylene. Nylon is tougher than the other materials. In addition, a nylon strap is the least likely to slip off your shoulder when you are wearing your jacket.
