Product detail

Soft Shackles & Textile Connectors

Dyneema soft shackles replace steel where weight, deck damage and dropped-object risk matter. A soft shackle of the same break load weighs a fraction of a steel one, floats, will not dent paintwork and cannot become a missile if it lets go. Also supplied as endless loops, grommets and strops for lashing and lifting.
