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.

Rigged to mountain-rescue standards, not parking-lot standards.

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

Both sizes do every job. 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. Otherwise the 1/2 inch, rated at 29,000 lb, is the easier one to live with: it's thinner, so it works into tight spots like a control arm or a wheel. Either one coils up small enough to ride in your recovery bag.

Need more reach? The 20' Hero Bridle runs long for wide rigs and narrower angles, and the 12' Professional Bridle is sheathed end to end for tow operators and fleets.

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.
