Backcountry Research has been giving me great support these past two years. I swear by the awesome strap, completely! I've used during every ride and every race since 2010 and have never lost a tool or tube! They recently added a new line called the
Hypalon series. The straps are made of a smooth black material that is even more durable and lighter. I added a bottle cage to my seat post for Sea Otter and Whiskey 50 so I needed to use a post mounted strap instead of my usual seat mounted one. It held PERFECTLY! I've been so impressed with every strap I've used and would recommend them to anyone. I even use one on my road bike! They also sent some more of the super cool Tulbags. They are designed to carry tools but I've been using them to keep my phone dry and clean. I'm super impressed with all of their products. Next time you see me on the trail ask to get a closer look at the way it mounts to my bike, you'll be impressed as well!
