Soft Recovery Shackle With A Breaking Strength of 44,500 lbs Overland Vehicle Systems

The OVS Soft Recovery Shackle is built from 5/8-inch Dyneema synthetic fiber — a material so strong that an equivalent wire rope would need to be three times as thick. At 23 inches overall with a 3-inch Class 2 Diamond Knot, this shackle carries a breaking strength of 44,000 lbs and a working load of 15,000 lbs. It ships with a 600 Denier Ballistic Nylon storage bag with a locking cinch for fast, organized deployment on the trail.

We recommend this shackle because it solves the real problems that metal D-rings create. It stores zero kinetic energy under load, so a failure doesn't send hardware flying at dangerous velocity. It won't rattle, rust, or chip paint on bumpers and rigging points. No tools needed to operate it, and because Dyneema is a low-friction fiber, braided synthetic line runs through it cleanly — meaning you can often skip the snatch block entirely.

The UV-stable construction includes an abrasive protective sleeve for additional durability in harsh recovery conditions. It handles both static and kinetic pulls. Backed by OVS's limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, this shackle belongs in every serious recovery kit.
