{"product_id":"maxtrax-rope-dampener","title":"MAXTRAX Rope Dampener","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MAXTRAX Rope Dampener is a fill-yourself winch line blanket that adds mass and friction to a line under load. It measures 53 cm by 39 cm (about 21\" by 15\") empty and weighs 320g before you add weight. The shell is 420 Denier Oxford nylon with polypropylene webbing, so it shrugs off grit and rinses clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does one job and does it well. A winch line or kinetic strap stores a huge amount of energy when it's loaded. If a rope, shackle, or strap lets go mid-pull, that energy has to go somewhere, and a bare line snaps back fast and high. Drape this over the line first, fill the two sleeves with sand or a couple of water bottles, and the added weight drags the line toward the ground instead of toward the cab if it fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it with synthetic rope or steel cable. It attaches to a rope loop with a MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle and sits best near the middle of the line. Rinse it with fresh water after a muddy recovery, air dry it, and store it dry. It ships empty by design so you fill it with weight you already carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003caside class=\"boondock-bill\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;background:#161719 radial-gradient(ellipse 60% 80% at 82% 28%, rgba(199,93,42,0.22) 0%, transparent 60%);border:1px solid #2D2E31;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;color:#E37545;font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.01em;\"\u003eBoondock Bill's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:18px;align-items:flex-start;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/xgrid-boondock-bill.png?v=1779057958\" alt=\"Boondock Bill\" style=\"width:88px;height:88px;border-radius:50%;flex-shrink:0;border:2px solid #C75D2A;background:#0E0F11;object-fit:cover;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0;flex:1;min-width:0;color:rgba(245,247,250,0.85);font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-style:italic;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eA winch line or strap that lets go under load whips back fast and high, right at head level — and that's exactly how folks get hurt out here. This blanket is the cheap fix that kills that snap. Drape this over the line, load the sleeves with sand or a water jug, and a failure drops to the dirt instead of the windshield. Bill fills his with whatever's heavy in the truck already, so there's nothin' extra to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/aside\u003e","brand":"Iceberg Outdoor Group - Supplier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832755187795,"sku":"MTXRD","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/MTXRD.full_b55e09e4-ad93-48cc-8e3f-71eaf415f444_2000x__09950.1710873071.webp?v=1780066986","url":"https:\/\/www.xgridoutfitters.com\/products\/maxtrax-rope-dampener","provider":"XGRiD Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
