A soft shackle made from Dyneema synthetic rope does the same job as a steel shackle at a fraction of the weight, and the OVS Soft Shackle carries a 41,000 lb breaking strength rating to back that up. Unlike a metal shackle, it won't scratch paint or bodywork if it swings during a recovery, and it's far less likely to become a dangerous projectile if something fails under load. An included abrasive sleeve protects the rope where it contacts a recovery point, and the storage bag keeps it clean and tangle-free between uses. A practical, lighter-weight alternative to keep in your Subaru's recovery kit alongside a kinetic rope or winch. Ships from our Calgary shop anywhere in Canada.
