A Colorado-made 1-inch cam strap built for everyday river rigging. Down River Equipment combines high-tenacity, UV-resistant polypropylene webbing with a heavy-duty galvanized-steel cam buckle, then color codes each length so the strap you need is easier to find in a pile of river gear.
Made for River Rigging
Cam straps are a basic part of a well-rigged boat. Down River Equipment makes its 1" Cam Straps in Colorado using high-tenacity polypropylene webbing and a galvanized-steel cam buckle.
With lengths ranging from short 1-foot straps to 12-foot options, you can choose a strap that better fits the particular rigging job instead of dealing with unnecessary excess webbing.
High-Tenacity, UV-Resistant Polypropylene Webbing
Down River specifies high-tenacity polypropylene for the 1-inch webbing and gives it UV resistance for outdoor use.
The webbing ends are heat sealed to help finish the cut edge and angle cut to make feeding the strap through the cam buckle easier.
Heavy-Duty Galvanized Cam Buckle
Each strap uses a 1-inch heavy-duty galvanized-steel cam buckle. Pull the webbing through the buckle to take up slack, and use the cam to release it when it's time to loosen or remove the strap.
Color Coded by Length
Down River uses different webbing colors to make common strap lengths easier to identify at a glance. That's particularly useful when several different lengths are living together in the same gear bag, dry box, trailer, or rigging pile.
