This strong 1.5 in black polypro strap fastens around the seat thwarts in a paddle raft, giving paddlers handholds for hanging on to and D-rings for attaching accessories. When you are out of the water, use the Universal Handle to haul your rolled-up raft or even to carry a kayak. The Universal Handles strap is 5.5 ft. long with our trademark Triple-Box-X stitching. No Elastic.
