Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we'll be taking a look at our cam buckle protector for your Thule tie-down straps here at etrailer. As you can see here on our kayak, we already have a tie down strap with a cam buckle, but it does not have a cam buckle protector. That's where this comes in. This is going to be what you'll use to protect that cam buckle as well as to protect your kayak, because you want to make sure that that metal is not scratching up your kayak. As you can see, the middle cam buckle rubs up against our kayak and can cause scratches and abrasions while our cam buckle protector is nice and smooth against that kayak and doesn't cause any friction at all. While this usually comes with your Thule water sport carriers, it's included in the kit, sometimes is not included, and when that happens, you may want to add it on.
Also, if you happen to damage, break, or lose your current cam buckle protector, that's where this comes in. So you just feed it in through the strap and then just bring this strap through all the way until you get to where that cam buckle is and that's going to be what's protecting it. So since this is designed as a direct replacement for your Thule water sport kayak kit, as well as an addition for your Thule straps. I can't verify if this will work with other straps, but here's some dimensions. So for the opening, which is where that strap feeds through, that's going to be about an inch wide because those straps are an inch wide.
As for the cam buckle itself, it fits perfectly here, inside our protector. And the cam buckle is an inch and five eighth inches long. So my personal recommendation, when it comes to this cam buckle protector is it's definitely a great addition if you have tie-down straps that don't have it, just because over time, you want to make sure that you're protecting your standup paddle boards or kayaks or whatever you're using to strap this down. It does not get into the way of your cam buckle and it allows you to use it properly and safely. So definitely a great addition, if you already have one, as a good replacement, and if you don't have one, as a just in case kind of thing.
And that was a look here at our Thule cam buckle protector for your Thule tie-down straps here at etrailer..
