ARB Soft Connect Shackle 14.5T Soft Shackle Orange 14.5T

A soft shackle gives you a strong, lightweight connector without putting another heavy steel component into the recovery system. ARB’s 14.5-ton Soft Connect is designed for smooth, radiused recovery points where the synthetic fibers can wrap without being cut or pinched.

That last part matters. Soft shackles are excellent around the right recovery point and a bad idea around sharp plate edges, burrs or damaged tow loops. Inspect the protective sleeve and rope after every hard pull; keeping the system light only helps if the fibers stay healthy.
