The Gin Soft Shackle is very light and strong. It can be used for reserve or hang point connection instead of a metal maillon or karabiner. Suitable for webbing-to-webbing connections e.g. between the reserve parachute and Y-bridle or the wing riser and harness hang point.
Compared to a metal maillon, the GIN Soft shackle is up to either times lighter with equivalent breaking strength. It features a locking system to prevent slippage under load and is easy to undo without tools.
