Weighing in at 2.2 lbs you can now reduce your total weight in your recovery gear kit SIGNIFICANTLY. Two of these rings (and three soft shackles{2 double loops and 1 single loop}) can do the job of 4 standard snatch blocks and 5 hard shackles! That is a huge reduction in total weight and gives you a massive increase in configuration options! Gone are the days of worrying about corrosion or bearing maintenance after a messy and wet recovery. 

High-quality HMPE winch line can handle operating temperatures of 190°-212° Fahrenheit  (100°C) and typically begin to melt around 300° Fahrenheit (144°C) over an extended period of exposure.  The Off-set Winch Ring operates in temperature bands less than that of allowable maximum HMPE operating temperatures ensuring your winch line is as happy as can be. Current parasitic friction loss while pulling at peak loads is estimated to be around 10% depending on the quality of the winch line line coating.
