The Chain Link is the easiest and safest way to attach your cinch buckles or other gear to your camping hammock. Knots can de-rate the strength of amsteel by 50% or more. And the very slippery nature of amsteel means that knots can fail. The safest and most secure option is a spliced loop. The Chain Link is just that a continuous loop of amsteel with no knots. 10" long or 20" long and formed into a continuous loop of super strong amsteel that weighs in at only 6 grams. These are the perfect compliment to our Cinch Buckles and webbing suspension systems. Tested to over 560 pounds!
Chain links are sold as singles so that you can mix and match colors for each end of your camping hammock, be sure to order one for each end!
