Review on Off Road Shackles Recovery Protective Climbing by Steven Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Now it's Stationery Knot

Seriously, the knot was my first and strongest impression of this earring. Hard as a brick! I bought different soft restraints. None of them were as well connected as this one. Honestly, if you've ever tried to tighten a knot like this, you know it's not easy, even using tools, especially with synthetic rope. The one who binds them must be a relative of Samson. In any case, the knot is reliable! The rest of the bow is quite traditional but also well done. The protective case is a bit rigid. So I was wondering if in this case the stiffness combined with the compression that always occurs during flexing wouldn't result in extra friction on the pulley. I haven't had a chance to verify it. I think a larger pulley than what I have now would be better for this bracket anyway. And of course, unless you're using soft brake discs, that's not a problem anyway. This is an excellent anchor shackle, especially in cases where additional demands are placed on the anchor.

Pros
  • ✔ Premium Material: Constructed of high-strength, ultra-high-performance 12-strand UHMWPE synthetic rope that offers a high margin of safety for most recreational and off-road uses.
Cons
  • Communication with seller
