Why use ski straps?

Ski straps keep your skis together during transport and storage. They protect both the base and steel edges from unnecessary wear and make it easier to carry the skis. With ski straps, you also avoid the edges scratching each other.

Advantages of ski straps

• Protects the base from scratches and damage.
• Keeps the skis together so they are easier to carry.
• Prevents the steel edges from rubbing against each other.
• Takes up almost no space – easy to always have in your pocket or bag.

Different types of ski straps

• Ski straps for cross-country skis – narrower and adapted for thinner profiles.
• Ski straps for alpine skis – wider and more padded to protect wider bases.
• Universal straps – flexible variants that work for most skis.

How to use ski straps

1. Place one strap at the front and one at the back of the skis.
2. Always place the padded side against the base.
3. Press the skis together and fasten the Velcro securely.

Tips from us

• Always use two straps (front and back) for best protection and stability.
• Have an extra pair of ski straps in the bag – they are easy to lose.
• Replace worn ski straps, as they can lose their protective function.

FAQ – Common questions about ski straps

Do I need ski straps?
Yes, they are a simple and inexpensive insurance to protect the base and make transportation smoother.

Is there a difference between straps for alpine and cross-country?
Yes, cross-country straps are narrower while alpine straps are wider and often more padded.

Can I use rubber bands instead?
Regular rubber bands hold the skis together but provide no protection for the base. Padded ski straps are clearly better.

How many straps do I need?
At least two – one at the front and one at the back. For wide skis, a third in the middle can be practical.
