Aftermarket compression straps.

Anyone know where to get aftermarket side compression straps? Im looking for ones that just girth hitch onto the already provided lash points of a pack. I thought this would be an easy accessory to buy from any large pack manufacturing brand but apparently not.  Ideally something I dont have to custom order and is decently affordable. 

The pack I'm trying to put these on is a current generation Patagonia Ascensionist 35L for reference. Kinda dumb they dont sell that pack with removable compression straps to begin with. But I digress...

I wish they had a photo of how these looked on a pack, im confused as to how they actually attach to each lash point.

I have these ones- my 2c they are excellent for light loads like attaching a foam pad to a pack. Love the girth hitch attachment method. But the strap material is so thin / lightweight that it slips under heavier loads. I wouldn’t feel confident using them to carry skis for example.

Does anyone know of a similar design but using heavier webbing?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
