Stretch, In A Strap.

Soft On The Hit, Still In Control

Nylon gives under load, so the pull comes on soft instead of as a hit. It stretches less than a kinetic rope, so you don’t need a big run-up and the rigs stay in control. That’s the point on rock: a controlled tug when you’re hung up, or a dead rig towed off a technical trail, with no jolt through either frame.

Twenty Feet, On Purpose

We once towed a dead rig 10 miles off the Rubicon, two days of ledges and boulders, on a snatch strap. Twenty feet keeps the rigs close enough to steer through the rock, and just enough stretch takes the jerk out of every ledge, so nothing breaks. Sleeved eyes on both ends, a keeper strap to hold the coil.

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

Flat road ahead? The long tow out on dirt or fire road is the Tow Strap's job. Buried? That's a kinetic rope.

Snatch Strap Questions

Snatch strap, tow strap or kinetic rope?

All three will tow. The difference is how much stretch you want and what you're willing to wear out.

• Snatch strap: nylon, just enough stretch: smoother than a tow strap, calmer than a rope. The crawler strap: a controlled tug when you're hung up (high-centered, on a ledge, a diff on a boulder), and the tow off a technical trail.

• Tow strap: no stretch, a short controlled tug, and the beater for the long flat tow out on dirt or fire road. Cheap to replace, and your rope stays in the bag.

• Kinetic rope: the most stretch, for the stuck pull. Tow with it for miles and it gets dragged through dirt and rock, and that's what trashes a rope.

Can I use it as a tree saver?

Use the Tow Strap for that. A tree saver shouldn't stretch, and this one does.

What's it rated for?

30,000 lb break strength, tested to failure.

What's the warranty, and how long does it last?

Lifetime warranty under proper use, within its published service life, which starts the day it's shipped. A snatch strap is a consumable, so its service life is counted in pulls, not years: about 12 hard snatches. Wear from use isn't a defect. The full rules and the claim process are on the Warranty and Service Life page.

When do I retire it?

After about 12 hard snatches, or sooner if it stops springing back to its length. Retire it early for cuts, fraying, melted or glazed webbing, or webbing that's sun-bleached and stiff. After every pull, lay it out loose for 12 hours before you coil it, so the nylon can recover.
