Product Information
Full details
The Loops 400mm Elastic Bungee Cords are designed for homeowners, campers, and commuters who need a reliable way to secure light-to-medium cargo during transport. These cords offer excellent tension for organizing luggage or securing equipment, though users should be aware that the 400mm length is best suited for smaller items and may not be long enough for securing large furniture or oversized loads.

FAQs
Are these cords suitable for securing items to a car roof?
These are best for light, internal, or small-rack cargo. They are not recommended for high-speed highway roof transport where wind force is significant.
What is the maximum stretch length?
While the relaxed length is 400mm, they can stretch significantly, but we recommend not exceeding 1.5 times their original length to ensure longevity.
Can these be linked together?
Yes, you can hook them end-to-end to create a longer bungee cord, but be mindful that the connection point can become a weak link.
Are the hooks plastic or metal?
The hooks have a strong steel core for structural integrity, finished with a protective rubber coating.
Can I use these in saltwater environments?
While durable, the steel hooks may eventually rust if exposed to salt water regularly. Rinse them with fresh water after use in such environments.
Troubleshooting
Hook slipping off the anchor point
Ensure the anchor point is compatible with the hook's diameter and that you have applied enough tension to keep the hook locked in place.
Cord feels loose
The load may be too small for the 400mm length; try doubling the cord over or choosing a more suitable anchor point to increase tension.
Rubber coating on hook is wearing away
If the metal is exposed, apply a small amount of electrical tape to the hook tip to continue protecting your surfaces from scratches.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Rubber coating prevents surface scratches
- Sturdy 8mm thickness for reliable tension
- Compact length ideal for small cargo
- Includes 6 cords for versatile use
Cons
- 400mm length is limited for larger items
- Not intended for heavy-duty towing applications
- Elastic may eventually lose tension over long-term outdoor exposure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, hook one end of the bungee to your anchor point, stretch the cord over your item, and securely attach the second hook. Ensure the hook is fully seated to prevent slippage.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid overstretching the cords beyond their recommended capacity.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the elastic core from degrading due to UV rays or extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Periodically inspect the hooks for signs of metal fatigue or tears in the rubber coating.
