One Bridle, Every Job
A Super Long Soft Shackle
The Hero Bridle is 8 feet long with a protected center that can run against metal edges, so it acts like a super long soft shackle: it wraps a frame, a roll cage or a control arm, or goes through a wheel, which is common in snow. Use it as a bridle across two recovery points, as a tree saver, as an 8 foot extension, or as a short tow strap for slow, controlled pulls in tight technical terrain. It's rated at 29,000 lb in 1/2 inch and 58,000 lb in 3/4 inch. Both eyes connect with soft shackles, so there's no metal anywhere in the system. It's static, so the stretch stays in your kinetic rope where it belongs. And it coils up small enough to ride in your recovery bag with the rest of your gear.
Built For Metal Edges
The black cover over the center is what lets the Hero Bridle work against metal: rock sliders, frame rails, control arms, the edge of a rim. Put the covered section where the bridle bends around the metal, keep the eyes and the bare rope on either side off sharp edges, and join the eyes with soft shackles. No hooks, no steel, nothing heavy on the line.
- Metal Edge Rated: The center portion is rated to be used against metal edges.
- Enhanced Safety: Distributes the load across multiple points, reducing the risk of damaging the vehicle or recovery gear during the operation.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for a variety of vehicles and situations, including awkward angles where a straight pull is not possible or used as a 10 foot extension.
Pick The Size For The Job
Size the Hero Bridle by how you'll use it, not by the truck. Get the 3/4 inch, rated at 58,000 lb, if you'll run it as a true bridle with a 1 inch or larger kinetic rope. For everything else, get the 1/2 inch, rated at 29,000 lb: wrapping a control arm, going through a wheel, a tree saver, any time it's working like a long soft shackle. It's thinner, so it gets into tight spots easier.
Three Jobs In One
A bridle does three jobs. It centers the pull on mountain passes and splits the load across two recovery points. It handles controlled pulls in tight, technical terrain, where rock rash and sharp-edged attachment points would chew up a strap. And the Hero Bridle works like a long soft shackle that wraps around metal edges, so you can pull from rims, A-arms, frames and other unusual points.
Static on purpose
A bridle is your anchor, so it should not stretch, and it spends its life bent tight around shackles and recovery points. A kinetic bridle, like some brands sell, is stretchy nylon with a braided core inside a braided cover. Load that hard over a tight bend and the damage happens in the core, under the cover where you can't see it. On aggressive pulls the inner strands kink permanently and the bridle is done. Ours are UHMWPE, a fiber that holds its strength around a tight bend and doesn't stretch, so all the stretch stays in the kinetic rope where it belongs.

The protected center that runs against metal edges, and the eyes that take a soft shackle at each end. Eight feet of UHMWPE that does the job of a bridle, a tree saver and an extension.
