Answer 3 questions. Get the exact strap type for your recovery — kinetic or static — instantly.
Kinetic or Static Strap — Which One Does Your Recovery Need?
Using a static strap for a kinetic pull snaps recovery points. Using a kinetic rope for a static anchor stretches everything. Get the type right first.
Describe your recovery situation: stuck type, terrain, and attachment points. The selector tells you whether kinetic or static is the right tool and why.
Kinetic energy recovery ropes (KERRs) are for dynamic extraction — not anchoring. Static straps are for winching and rigging — not snap loading. Mixing them up causes equipment failure.
