Light, strong, fast
Quality Construction
Spliced from 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. A protective sleeve covers the body, the knot is hand-spliced, and it won't rust, seize or sink. Three sizes, 1/2 to 7/8 inch, rated from 58,000 to 185,000 lb.
Stronger Than Steel
A 7/8 inch soft shackle is rated at 185,000 lb, more than the steel shackles it replaces, at a fraction of the weight. No pin to drop in the mud, no steel to fly if something lets go, and it wraps around anything solid: a drawbar, a frame rail, a bucket, whatever's there.
Built for Safety
Every Kinetic-X rope and shackle is pull-tested to failure by an independent lab in California before we publish a rating. Beyond that, we keep pushing our gear to find safer, more effective ways to recover. Every piece carries its manufacturing date, so you always know its age.
Rigged to mountain-rescue standards, not parking-lot standards.
Which Size?
Match the shackle to your rope: it should be rated at or above the rope it connects to. 1/2 inch with the 1 and 1.25 inch ropes, 5/8 inch with the 1.5 inch, 7/8 inch with the 2 and 2.5 inch. Our Heavy Duty kits ship with the matching pair. Buying on a purchase order? Start on Pro & Fleet.

Word on the trail
Mike M.
"I have many of the top recovery gear brands. I have put these ropes and soft shackles to the test. I have nearly every rope size and soft shackle they make. I even used a rope that was underrated for its use. I was helping pull out a loaded garbage truck with a 105hp skid loader. The rope never gave way, nor did the soft shackles. I have abused them on the ranch for years. Great product and good people."
Colin F.
"The attention to detail in these shackles is top notch. The protective sleeve is contained and not something that just slips around like on other shackles. All materials appear to be very high quality."
Paul M.
"I spent 30 years in a career, doing mountain search and rescue, boat operations, rock climbing etc ... I know my way around ropes and lines which your life depends on. Your kinetic-X Recovery Rope and Soft Shackles are OUTSTANDING!"
Jared G.
"Well made- just recovered several vehicles off a frozen lake- snow conditions were sub optimal for all the tourists who ventured onto the lake with all season tires. The kinetic rope made pulling much softer, soft shackles were key for attaching."
Nic S.
"I've been using the full line of Kinetic X recovery products for over 2 years now and can confidently say they are a step above even the expensive name-brand options... The durability, longevity, and features of the kinetic ropes, hitch hero shackles, bridles, and winch line are legitimately shocking for how affordable this stuff is."

"We got 17" of snow today and was able to use my new rigging today pulling people out. Very impressive products you have here. I imagine the stranded folks that I pulled out agree also!!"
Elwin K.
"Quality product, and worked amazing pulling a motor home out of the snow."
Russell D.
"Fast shipping!! Very solid, heavy duty gear!!! The bag is a little thin, but everything else is STOUT!!!! I got the 1" kit, I'm using it on an F250. It is VERY capable gear!"
