The Nylon Buckle Voile Straps
How durable are they?
Voile Straps have earned their reputation as the ultimate tool for the backcountry; a staple for outdoor enthusiasts, from skiers to enduro riders and everyone in between. When most people think of Voile Straps, they picture the familiar aluminum buckle. But there’s another contender on the scene: the Voile Strap with a Super Tough Nylon Buckle. The big question is, can it match the durability of the classic aluminum buckle? Let's dive in.
NEW: XL Series Nylon
The Super Tough Nylon Buckle brings a range of advantages that make it a perfect fit for the XL Series. Built from durable, high-grade nylon, this buckle can withstand the same harsh conditions as aluminum, from freezing mountain ranges to sun-scorched deserts.
Spoiler alert:
They're tough.
The nylon buckle continues to function even after being deformed, continuing to provide reliable hold in a pinch. If your buckle takes a hit or gets bent out of shape, it can still perform, getting you through the rest of your adventure. This resilience under duress makes the nylon buckle version ideal for those who demand flexibility and adaptability from their gear. The nylon buckle doesn’t just match aluminum’s strength—it rivals it with added advantages.
The Nylon Buckle Advantage:
Replaceable and Resilient.
One key feature that sets the Nylon Buckle Voile Strap apart is the replaceable buckle. While the aluminum buckle version is permanently affixed, the nylon buckle can be swapped out, adding an extra layer of versatility and longevity. If you find your strap has endured one adventure too many, simply replace the nylon buckle instead of the entire strap, saving both time and resources. Whether you want to extend the life of your strap or adapt it for different purposes, the option to replace the nylon buckle makes this strap a true backcountry workhorse.
Scratch-Free, Glare-Free, Shock-Free
One major advantage of the nylon buckle is its non-abrasive, non-conductive, and non-reflective properties. This makes it the preferred choice for scenarios where preserving surfaces is crucial, and for those looking to keep a low profile—great for lighting technicians and wildlife photographers. The nylon buckle won’t scratch sensitive equipment, and it won’t interfere with electronics, making it ideal for tech-savvy adventurers or professional contractors working around sensitive gear or live currents.
The Bottom Line:
In terms of real-world durability, the nylon buckle performs just as well as the aluminum one, holding tight in the harshest conditions. Both buckles are UV resistant and can endure punishing exposure to sunlight, freezing temperatures, and everything in between. That’s what makes Voile Straps so versatile; they don’t just hold things together—they hold up in any environment.
