Why this gift works
Voile Straps are stretchy UV-resistant polyurethane straps with a hardened aluminum buckle, made in Utah. This variety pack has one each of the 15, 20 and 25-inch lengths, and Voile says the straps stay usable in both heat and freezing temperatures. They cinch around anything from about 5.5 inches up to nearly 23 inches, depending on the length.
Skiers use them to bundle skis together for carrying, strap skis to a pack, fix a broken binding or boot buckle well enough to get down, and a hundred other jobs. They are cheap, they last for years, and once someone owns a few, they end up on every trip.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A backcountry skier who straps skis to a pack
- Someone who also bikepacks or camps
Think twice if
- They only ever ride the lifts and never carry skis far
The catch
The aluminum buckles can scratch gear - Voile makes nylon-buckle versions for anything that should not be marked - and a strap is a fix, not a replacement for proper ski carriers.
Skip for a skier who never carries their skis further than the rack at the lodge.

What to look for in ski straps
- Stretch in the cold. Polyurethane straps that stay flexible in freezing weather are far easier to use.
- Length. Longer straps bundle a pair of skis; shorter ones suit repairs and lashing.
- Buckle. Aluminum is tough; nylon buckles will not scratch.
