Starting with Lynx's tie-down straps. They’re the safe alternative to aero elastic cords with a hook on the end. There are terrible stories of such things causing accidents and injuries, but thanks to Lynx Hooks there’s a safer alternative.
Not only are they individually super-stretchy, but have a very secure interlocking hook system, which means that they can be extended in length or made into ‘spiders’ or nets by attaching them to each other. The locking system is very safe, so that old hazard ‘bungee blindness’ – where the bungees ping off each other as you stretch and attach them and hit you in the eye (main secondary symptom, extreme swearing) – will not happen.
