Front Runner Stratchit Shorties
Compact Ratchet Tie-Downs
Secure your cargo and gear with the compact and versatile Front Runner Stratchit Shorties.
Designed to combine the convenience of a ratchet strap with the flexibility of a bungee cord, Stratchit Shorties provide stretchy ratcheting performance in a lightweight and durable design.
At 507mm / 20" shorter than the standard Stratchit, they are ideal for keeping your rack tidy while securing smaller loads. The integrated hook-and-loop strap neatly stores excess length, while the simple hand-tightening design makes securing your gear quick and easy.
