Soft Shackles – Lightweight, High-Strength Recovery Gear Upgrade
Ditch the Steel. Upgrade to Synthetic.
Say goodbye to heavy metal D-rings and hello to a smarter recovery solution. These Soft Shackles offer steel-level strength without the weight, rust, or clunky hardware. Ideal for off-roaders tired of digging steel out of the mud or fumbling with cold, wet shackles.
Made from ultra-strong HMPE synthetic fiber and wrapped in a heat-shrink sleeve (in your choice of color), these are the tow points you’ll actually want to use.

Frequently Asked
Q: What’s better—soft shackles or hard shackles?
Soft shackles are lighter, safer, and more versatile for most off-road scenarios. Hard shackles are cheaper but bulkier and more prone to corrosion. It depends on your use case.
Q: How do I choose between Standard and HD Soft Shackles?
If your recovery points are clean and smooth, the standard version works great. For abrasion-heavy setups, go HD.
Q: What’s the deal with Double Loop Soft Shackles?
They’re longer—better for tight recovery angles or doubling winch lines. Useful when flexibility is critical.
