Steadymate 15543 Snowmobile Tow Strap

I bought this 'just in case' one of our friends broke down on the trails. Imagine how surprised I was when my carb iced up the other night when the temps went below 0 degrees F. We were able to connect it up in less than one minute and got moving. I strongly suggest that you find one of the videos on YouTube that shows how to connect it. For us, it was well after dark and super cold and that's not the time to be looking over directions. This is a must have at a great price. I can't imagine how long we would have been stuck out in the woods before we found rope. The other safety feature about the speed of deployment is that I broke down in the middle of the trail with no lights and would have been impossible to see. An accident could easily occurred if we didn't get moving quickly. That's a very long way to say 'you really need this on every sled, you never know which is going to break down and who will be around to help.

Years ago we had a break down and Towed a Phaser Sled accross Houghton Lake in Michigan with a Polo Sweat Shirt. Never again! Bought one of these for each of my 7 Friends and first time out we used them Twice in one weekend in the UP Michigan. High Performance Roller Bearings Failures, twice on the same sled on different days. Worked Fantastic! Bought one for each of my 7 Sledding Friends.

Update 4-3-14: Used this to pull a sled about 8 miles out. The bolts on the skis rubbed against the strap the entire way causing it to fray very badly. This essentially ruined the strap or at least made it untrustworthy. Would be nice if there was some sort of reinforcement or plastic sheath that could help prevent this. Downgraded to 4 stars for this. Original review: You'd be crazy not to have one of these when you go out sledding. Great quality and super easy to attach and detach. No knots required, just loop and click it. This allows you to pull from the front skis rather than from the bumper which will result in damage. Would be nice if the length was a bit longer as the guy being pulled tends to get a face full. We have used this as a tow rope to pull my son on his snowboard as well. Great product as well as a necessity. One day you'll regret not having one!

Have you ever had to walk 9 miles home in -20 temps through 2 feet of snow? Or had to ride home on the back of someone else's snow machine only to leave yours out on a trail somewhere? Well those days are over with this strap towing system designed for snow machines (Snow Mobiles for lower 48 cats). I have pulled out those in deep snow that got stuck, those that broke down that need a tow home. It's great and easy to use. Straps are made from a high quality nylon and are stitched very well.

You buy this thing hoping you'll never need it. You won't fully appreciated your purchase until this saves your trip one day! We've had to use this a few times in the past 2 years since purchasing and it worked flawlessly each time. I never leave on a sledding trip without this. It surprises me that everyone doesn't buy one. The 'skis-to-bumper' approach beats pulling from bumper-to-bumper any day. Highly recommend this for everyone who owns a sled.

HAHA for ONCE! My hubby had this on hand thank goodness... guess who had to tow WHO back on the trail... Worked great!! #Wifey win!

I bought this for my adventure bike. We're always stuck in mud or fallen over or something. Got a chance to use it a few times and its excellent. Although its made to attach to both sides of the snowmobile or bike, if you need extra length, just attach it to one side. Id highly recommend this.

Great tow strap. My previous one was about 3 ft long and made for one h*ll of a ride when you need to be towed (2 ft from the sleds bumper infront of you at 20-30 mph can be quite a ride)This gives enough room to be able to brake if needed when being towed without slamming into the sled towing you. Rope is of good construction and seems durable enough.
