Best Bungee Cords and Tie Down Straps in New Zealand: Why Tack Strap is Different
Share
When you’re hauling gear across New Zealand, whether it’s a motorbike on the back of a ute, a kayak on the roof rack, or just a mountain of camping gear, the last thing you want is a bungee cord that slips, stretches out, or pings loose on the motorway.
It happens more often than you’d think. Traditional bungee cords are cheap and handy, but they’re also unreliable. Hooks bend. Rubber frays. Loads shift. And let’s be honest, a rogue bungee cord snapping back is no one’s idea of a good time.
That’s where Tack Strap comes in.
Why Regular Bungee Cords Fall Short
Most Kiwis have a tangle of bungee cords stashed somewhere in the garage, ute, or boat shed. But they all share the same problems:
-
Slippage: Smooth hooks and round cords don’t stay put when the road gets bumpy.
-
Limited adjustability: Too short or too long - there’s never a perfect fit.
-
Weak durability: UV light, rain, and salt air wear them down quickly in NZ conditions.
-
Safety risks: Overstretching or poor anchoring leads to unexpected snapbacks.
In short, they’re handy for holding the chilly bin lid closed… but not so great for strapping down your motorbike.
Meet Tack Strap: Smarter Tie Downs for Kiwi Conditions
The Tack Strap by STAPLL is a 4-way bungee system designed to actually solve the problems standard cords can’t. Here’s why it’s different:
-
Center of Pressure Technology (CoP Tech): Keeps cords locked in place so they don’t slip or vibrate loose.
-
Non-slip rubber grip pad: Sits directly on your load, applying downward pressure and preventing movement.
-
Adjustable 30” cords: Flexible length, stretches up to 55” - perfect for both small and oversized gear.
-
Steel-core hooks: Strong enough for serious loads, won’t bend out of shape.
-
UV resistant: Built to handle NZ’s sun, rain, and coastal conditions.
Each pack includes two Tack Straps, giving you multiple ways to secure your gear - from cross-strapping a kayak to cinching down a tent load.

-
