Looking at a kinetic recovery rope to add to my kit...there is a range of price and quality for these, and I am trying to strike the right balance of quality and price. Some of the top names like Yankum, Bubba and Factor 55 come in around $200, whereas there are middle price range ($100 or so) from companies like Rhino and VooDoo, and then more budget pricing like Grip and Ditch Pig etc. I recognize quality is often associated with price, but that is not always true, and sometimes name brand stuff goes for an unnecessary premium. In some cases, like the budget offering listed above, the application is targeted for agricultural and farm usage, which may suggest decent quality, but at a more reasonable price than is associated with the premium priced off-road/overlanding market. I also recognize when it comes to recovery gear, I'd rather err on the side of ensuring good quality even at unnecessary additional cost. So, as I continue my research in this topic, I am looking for specific reviews from users that have a rope - not looking for info on recovery/elastic 'straps', just ropes. Please give your rope brand, model and specs if possible as I am truly looking for user reviews as opposed to generic commentary.
thanks!
