Overland Vehicle Systems 19139919 Soft Shackle 7/16" 41,000 lb with Collar and Storage Bag

The Overland Vehicle Systems soft shackle is a premium recovery tool that outperforms traditional metal shackles in strength, safety, and versatility. Constructed from high-strength Dyneema synthetic fiber, this shackle delivers an impressive 41,000 lb breaking strength and 15,000 lb working load limit—more than twice the strength of a comparable 3/4" stainless steel shackle, yet significantly lighter and safer to use.

Superior Material Technology:

Dyneema is an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fiber known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. An equivalent wire rope would need to be three times as thick to match this shackle's performance. The low-friction properties of Dyneema allow braided synthetic line to run smoothly through the shackle, enabling it to function as an alternative to traditional snatch blocks in certain recovery scenarios.

Enhanced Protection and Durability:

This 22-inch soft shackle features gray 5/8" diameter UV-stable synthetic rope construction with an integrated abrasive-resistant protective sleeve. The oversized heavy-duty collar provides quick, secure retention without the need for pins that can fall out during trail use. The UV-stable materials ensure long-lasting performance even with extended sun exposure.

Key Advantages Over Metal Shackles:

• Safer operation—does not store dangerous kinetic energy when under load
• Superior articulation around recovery points and uneven surfaces
• Rattle-free during transport—won't damage bumpers or recovery equipment
• No pins to lose or threads to cross-strip in field conditions
• Easier to release after being loaded compared to metal shackles
• Won't rust or corrode in harsh environments
• Lightweight design won't overload your recovery kit

Versatile Recovery Applications:

Suitable for both static and kinetic recovery pulls, this soft shackle is ideal for winching operations and strap connections. When paired with an OVS recovery ring, it can even function as a makeshift snatch block for redirecting pulling angles. No tools required for installation or removal, making field operations quick and efficient.

Includes:

• 7/16" soft shackle with protective sleeve (22" overall length)
• Quick-deploying storage bag made from 600 Denier ballistic nylon with locking cinch closure

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser. This soft shackle is an essential component of any serious off-road recovery kit, offering the perfect combination of strength, safety, and ease of use.
