Replace the Metal in your recovery
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. Two sizes: 7/16 inch at 41,000 lb and 1/2 inch at 58,000 lb.

Lighter Than Steel
A 1/2 inch soft shackle is rated at 58,000 lb, well above the steel D-ring it replaces, and it weighs next to nothing in the bag. No pin to drop in the mud, no steel to fly if something lets go, and it wraps around anything solid: a recovery point, a tree saver, a rope eye.
Rigged to mountain-rescue standards, not parking-lot standards.


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.

Which Size?
Match the shackle to your rope: 7/16 inch covers the 3/4, 7/8 and 1 inch ropes, 1/2 inch the 1.25, or the 1 inch if you want extra margin. Every recovery kit ships with two, rated above the rope in the bag. For a receiver, an A-arm or a frame, the Hitch Hero adds a metal-safe sheath.
