C4RS 1/2″ Soft Shackle, Standard Length – Recovery Gear
Standard Length And XL Length C4RS 1/2″ Soft Shackles
C4RS – Custom 4WD Recovery Systems 1/2 Soft Shackles – Standard Length are Made in the USA, spliced in-house at C4RS here in Colorado! These 1/2″ Soft Recovery Shackles are both Berry & TAA compliant. Each soft shackle is spliced & tied from Samson®’s AmSteel Blue® Dyneema SK-78 fiber. Soft shackles provide for ease of use & ability to connect to a multitude of locations that a typical metal bow shackle could not such as roll cages, tube bumpers, tube sliders, joining lines & straps, etc. Soft shackles also avoid the issue of metal bow shackles side-loading.
Each soft shackle comes with a slip noose that tightens over a knot to make a closed connection. A tubular abrasion guard is included that is easily removed for replacement or when not desired. A lock stitch is placed near the base of each knot to keep both legs equally weighted as they enter the knot. Each soft shackle comes with a safety tag including a serial number for lot traceability, item specifics & load ratings.

C4RS soft shackles are well suited for static recovery & rigging. A great way to attach recovery lines or straps together, or to surfaces such as bumpers, sliders, roll cages, rounded recovery points, hitch recovery point inserts, etc., that have rounded edges & no sharp corners. Useful in many instances where a traditional hard shackle will not work. Also great used in general off road vehicle rigging & recovery.
