Rating: 18-Ton (Actual break test: 22 000kg)

Quantity: Sold per unit, not in pairs.

Our soft shackles are spliced by hand and made from locally sourced high-quality Dyneema, which is lightweight, strong, and more durable than traditional dyneema soft-shackles.

We recommend using a soft shackle that is rated lighter than the recovery rope's rating or that of the anchor point on your vehicle when doing snatch recoveries. This way, the soft shackle is the weaker point and should the pulling force become too much, rather have the soft shackle break than your kinetic rope OR A PART OF YOUR VEHICLE.

Therefore, soft shackles should be seen as a consumable item in offroad recovery.

The breaking strength listed is calculated by using a formula used for soft shackles which is based on the single Dyneema rope's breaking strength, which once doubled-up, has almost double the strength, but is limited by the strength of the rope around the knot. This ratio is usually around 1.75x the single rope strength. We work on a 1.5x ratio.

*Soft shackle colors may vary from batch to batch.
