bungee cords
Hooked elastic straps
Bungee cords are elastic cords with hooks at each end, used to secure items by stretching around them.
The rubber core wrapped in fabric provides strong tension that holds cargo in place on vehicles, luggage racks, or storage areas: I strapped the cooler down with bungee cords.
Also called bungees or shock cords.
