Gear Review - Loop Rope


This winter I was fortunate enough to have been selected for a gear review opportunity on the Outdoor Blogger Network.  They had teamed up with the company LoopRope to give away a few of their products for trial of their unique cargo management tool.  It is essentially a bungee cord of the highest caliber with a lot of thought put into its design and build.  The loops are at uniform intervals allowing it to be adjustable to any cargo load not to mention the fact that the loops themselves allow for cargo management.  The demo video on their website shows multiple potentials for this product, but after carrying it for several months myself I have found many uses for it in the outdoor world.  On our ice fishing trips, it was an important asset to steady the mountain of gear we had loaded into our tote sleds.  When you are 3 hours deep into the woods, you don’t want to chance losing something by not having it tied down.  It is a great restraint for transporting a grill, not to mention holding shed antlers onto a snowmobile.   The shape of an antler can be anything but uniform and keeping them in place with traditional cords can pose problems.  All in all it has proven to not only be handy, but very durable.  The machined clips that it comes with are of top quality and with the locking tab prevent those feared slips where who knows what might get hit with the unleashed elastic.  The aesthetic appeal is also nice as it is a nice bright color which allows you at a glance to confirm its position.  It has proven itself for months now for me, and the only bad thing I can find about it is that I don’t have another one to go with it!  That might have to change soon!
