Does anyone have any preference or recommendations as to what type/ brand of straps used to secure luggage/crap on a roof rack. I'll be traveling down south for 1200 to 1300 miles (one way) and I want to make sure that my cargo is secure. I been thinking of using those rachet type of straps. Good or bad idea?
I know that I can use any long sturdy rope and secure it by going over the cargo a few times, but I'm trying to keep things simple by having a quick and easy way to secure it and undo it fairly quickly.
here's a few that I'm looking at:
