Viking Offroad introduces the Tow Strap and Tree Strap: These straps are designed to improve strap quality and establish standardized colors which will increase safety when using recovery equipment. Viking Offroad and ARB have designed Orange Tow Straps used for Kinetic Vehicle to Vehicle Recovery and Green Tree Straps for Static Winching Recovery. Kinetic Tow Straps stretch and for safety purposes should never be used with a winch. Static Tree Straps have minimal stretch and can be used with winches.

standardized colors for recovery straps. (Details with part numbers and retail pricing below)

:drool: :drool: AWW POOP! I JUST picked up an ARB tree strap!

That really does look more compact than my ARB straps. Decent pricing too, for a product to be worthy of the Viking name!

I really like the look of those...
just not sure they would hold up to the 11,000 lb WAVE, however for the majority of folks in the normal rig world they would be perfect

they are sharp looking and made in the USA!

This is great news.

Can't wait to read the reviews.....

I'm smelling a OJ article here!

Looks like the leather label is a suggestion from an old OJ article.. Very nice idea, nothing like a 3 year old strap that you dont know the specs on...

I KNOW!!!

...Where were these 3 months ago!?!?!
My mom bought me all 3 of the new ARB straps for Christmas. It's okay. They're good. But given the choice, I would have chosen the Viking.

Has the name changed from "Recovery strap" to "Tow Strap" for Kinetic lines now? They defninitely look nice though.
