Product of the week: Nite Ize Dual CamJam Tie Down - Tensioning strap with variable double clamp
Tensioning straps have a clamp on one side. At least that was the case until now. The "Dual CamJam Tie Down has a freely movable double clamp, which enables particularly fast, secure lashing in certain situations. We have tested the part.
The clamp sits firmly on the webbing at any position. The tensioning strap only needs to be passed over the board once.Photo: Stephan GölnitzThe clamp sits firmly on the webbing at any position. The tensioning strap only needs to be passed over the board once.

There are plenty of tensioning straps available and - apart from the straps with ratchet levers, which are particularly suitable for destroying delicate boards - they all work in a similar way. The buckle is sewn onto one side, the strap is passed twice over the board and around both roof rails and tensioned.

The tensioning system from Nite Ize is different: one end of the strap is designed as an approximately 20 cm long strap loop with which the strap can be securely fastened to roof racks or lashing eyes. The clamp is designed as a double clamp. This means that one clamping roller can be positioned freely and firmly on the belt and the free end of the belt can be securely tensioned with the other clamping roller. The strap is therefore only guided once over the board, the clamp is positioned appropriately and the remaining end of the strap goes once around the roof rack, back through the clamp, lash it down, done.

The tightly woven webbing looks very solid, as does the nickel-plated zinc alloy clamp. The load capacity is stated as 181 kilos, the breaking load as 544 kilos. Weight: 250 grams (at 12'' length).

SUP is Stephan's second passion, which he pursued for several years at numerous SUP races. Today, he prefers to paddle on river tours with family or friends - even for several days.
