Benefits of a Soft Shackle:

• Incredibly strong
• Lightweight
• No pin to loose compared with a traditional shackle
• They can be easily opened and closed with gloved cold wet hands
• They float
• They can be brightly coloured to colour code your boat, eg. for reefing system lines
• They don't chafe other lines
• They don't wear down surfaces like metal on metal
• They don't damage gelcoat or painted surfaces when dropped or flailing
• They cannot become too tight to undo, similar to a bowline knot.
