SOS Gear was founded by Dr. Tejas Kothari, an I4WDTA-approved trainer and founder of Offroad Junkie and Learn Offroad. The company has developed products like tow straps, shackles, and tyre pressure gauges in consultation with experienced off-roaders. Each product has been tested by BIS and NABL-approved labs in India.

Shackles are an essential part of a recovery operation. The benefit of soft shackles is that they float on water, unlike metal shackles. These are priced at Rs 3,500 and have a working load of 5 tonnes and MBS of 12.6 tonnes.

Metal Bow Shackles
