It’s A Wrap, With The Easy To Use Wraptie.

Wraptie is a simple solution to securing luggage, skis, bikes and much more. Ideal for motorcyclists like myself who need to lug plenty of kit around using different bikes that I am reviewing.

It was back in 2007 when Paul McNeill, inventor, and co-founder of WRAPTIE™ had an idea that would change the world of tie-down straps.

He had always loved cycling and enjoyed taking his youngest child everywhere on the bike with him. Riding was easy, the tricky part was getting her in and out of the seat on the back of the bike. 

He embarked on an endless search for some kind of strap that would quickly and easily hold the bike to any size post- something that was adjustable, lightweight and small.

After trying every kind of strap available - from a bungee cord to rope, there was nothing that could be used with one hand, while still holding a kid with the other, that was safe enough to hold the bike.

Paul figured that it had to be a type of thick elastic with hook and loop fasteners sewn in sections. So, it was off to the sewing shop to test the theory! And the very first prototype was born!

Not having enough funding to take a product like this to the market, Paul McNeill and his co-founder Mark Blackburn used crowdfunding as a way to launch the product. 

After seeing some of the bizarre products that have launched recently they thought something as innovative as the WRAPTIE™ tie down strap was definitely worth trying! 

In fact, people liked the idea so much it made 300% of the initial target for the Indiegogo crowdfunding launch! And then the demand kept growing and that's when they realised that the WRAPTIE™ had a chance.

I have been using the Wrapties for various roles, mainly securing kit to the motorcycles I review. Lots of bikes don’t come with panniers or top boxes so to carry all the filming, photographic and refreshments I require on a ride out I need good straps to secure various bags I use.

Easily strap any bag, rucksack etc to your motorbike. Just uaing one of the two Wrapries I have, enabled me to tie down my tank bag to my pillion seat.
