Wrap strap around outside of the ski, securing together with the skis and easy to carry. Ski straps protect your ski bottoms and keep your skis together while you carry them. The foam rubber spacer goes between the bottoms of your skis to keep them apart. The Velcro makes it easy to attach and remove. A padded section goes between the bases for improved protection. An area is included on the strap for writing your name etc for easier ski identification. We recommend using two ski ties per ski set. Place a strap at each point where the bases contact, to prevent scratches and maintain the correct shape of the ski base.
