Still the original and best! The first winch rope abrasion/chafe guard on the market. Although all of our synthetic winch ropes are shipped with our HD cordura winch rope abrasion guard, we get calls for it from those who purchased rope elsewhere, and needed a strong rope guard. Note: Choose the "H1 Black Wide" abrasion guard for 7/16 inch and ½ inch diameter ropes, or also with 3/8 inch ropes for a looser covering.
