This invention relates to a protective buffer strap (10). More specifically, the invention relates to a protective buffer strap (10) capable of being strapped onto one or more articles (100, 200) to be closely restrained, thereby to prevent such articles (100, 200) from rubbing up against one another and causing damage, especially to surface finishes. The protective buffer strap (10) includes a strap (32) and an elongate body (12) from which the strap (32) extends, the elongate body (12) having a spine (26) and a plurality of projections (28) graduating lengths extending from the spine (26). The protective buffer strap (10) is configurable between an unwound condition and a wound condition. In the unwound condition, free ends (28A) of the projections (28) are spaced from one another along the spine (26). In the wound condition, the elongate body (12) and/or strap (32) is deformed into a closed loop form with the free ends (28A) of the protections (28) jointly defining at least a portion of a bore (36) for receiving a first article (100) therein, which bore (36) is eccentric relative to the closed loop form. Furthermore, in the wound condition, the strap (32) extends about the closed loop form and/or the closed loop form and a second article (200) receivable between the strap (32) and the spine (26) thereby to retain the protective buffer in the wound condition such that in use, the distance between the first article (100) received within the bore (36) and the second article (200) is variable by rotating the closed loop form about the first article (100).
