The flat shock cord has a UV-treated, natural rubber latex core sheathed in high-strength, UV and abrasion resistant, polypropylene braiding. The flat bungees are twice as strong as their traditional round cord equivalents with a breaking strength of 800N (~80kg) as opposed to 350N for 8mm round bungee and 400N for 10mm round bungee.
The flat elastic bungee cord luggage straps are ideal for use in towing and securing heavy luggage, such as those encountered in camping, hiking, and vehicle loading situations.
