WARN 95510 Epic Trail Gear: Accessory Backpack/Storage Bag, Black

I'll go with name brand winching accessories before the cheaper stuff. WHY? Look, I'm not a name whore. I love a bargain as much as the next person. But when you start talking about the forces involved when winching, I want to know that the equipment I'm using is actually rated at what they say. WARN has been a leader in the winching game for a very long time. And even if some of their stuff isn't made in the U.S., I'll bet the quality control on it is better than most. I got the Large Recover Kit because everything is rated for over what my winch is rated at. (the winch blankets did NOT come with the kit...... something I think SHOULD be included) Look, it's simple.... if you have a 12K winch (which I do) and you want to do a double line pull.... EVERYTHING in the winching setup must be rated for at least twice 12K. So 24K of pull (or more). Winch line, snatch blocks, the tree your using as a winch point, shackles and pull points on your rig. EVERYTHING. The price of rated winch gear is directly proportional to the amount of pull. More K's, more money. This kit has enough gear to do a snatch (the rubber band), double line pull, has a tree saver and a couple of rated shackles. The gloves are nice, but may too big for some folks. And it all fits in the very nicely in the (pretty heavy) backpack. I added a couple more WARN shackles, and a couple of safety blankets. (the extra shackles fit in the backpack) Should WARN have included the blankets? Probably.... That's probably the only ding I can give to the kit. Overall...I'm very happy with this kit. But the quality of the items included is very good. The finish is very nice and looks like it will hold up for many years to come. You can go cheap with a lot of things, but the last thing you want, when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, buried to the axles in sticky mud, trying to get your 9K truck, pulling a 3K trailer.....is to have a "rated" shackle or snatch block, come flying back at you with 20K/lbs+ of force. Like the saying goes buy once, cry once. Get good gear.

Heavy duty. Futuristic design look. Brass pulley wheel for no sparks. Works great. Just make sure you use the right size rope/wire. Regular winch rope size works great. I tried putting some utility rope (3/8”) through and it got stuck in between the pulley and one side of the shackle. But it’s for (truck) winch rope…so, that’s expected, I guess. Anyway, it’s a bit pricey compared to “not Warn” brand. But it’s the one everyone wants. I’m never sorry I got it. Just a little nervous it will “walk away” or “get misplaced” on the trails.

These look like quality shackles, but unfortunately they didn't work in my application to hook up safety cables to our motorhome, this was no fault of the shackle, but rather an oversized plate on the back of the MH. In all it took 6 different products until I found one that worked.

This hook was purchased to replace the standard, silver hook shipping with my WARN Zeon 12 winch. It's a substantial improvement in several ways: The throat is larger allowing easier placement of tree straps or other items; the gate is heavier-duty than the thin, comparatively fragile gate of the original hook, and the over all size and heft is substantially greater as well. For the money, especially compared to other, far more elaborate and expensive options - it's a no brainer. Added bonus, it looks great on the front of your rig. This hook is a great value, highly functional and superb looking.

Unfortunately, my originals was stolen out of my car and it is a replacement… these are the best tools and a must have for my Bronco! They are outstanding quality and easy to store and use.

Bought this hook to replace a very worn out original hook on an ATV winch. Really liked the look of the WARN Epic line of products. So bought the 5000 lb. version of this hook to try it out. Feels and looks better then the original hook. So far no problems and holding up very nicely. After using and seeing this in action now planning on buying some more WARN Epic products. Yes I know it's made over seas. It's really hard to find anything made in the USA anymore. But what do you expect when today's society have forced so many company's to shut down factories and move elsewhere and unfortunately it is usually out of the USA! You just have to go with what is available to you even though you might not want too.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: works great so far

The shackles are functionally just fine. I specifically ordered them because I love the way they look. If you're not into the ascetic, then money can be better spent with USA made shackles like crosbys. I was also disappointed they did not come with any isolating rings at this price range. If you want to permanently mount these on your vehicle they will make a lot of noise. It's odd that I had to borrow the isolation rings from my el cheapo $15 shackles to use on these much more expensive shackles. Great product, but not great value.

this is a stout hook! I've got the same style of hook on my Power wagon and love it. I've never had any issues with any of the Warn "epic" series of gear. This style of hook has a slightly larger throat than competitors and allows me to use my 1/2" soft shackles and recovery gear from my truck. If the hook were ever to break, I'd buy another the exact same. a little pricy but worth the money. (comes with a built in bottle opener as well for those "trail side beverages"...lol)

Great shackle- looks good too

Very beefy for what it does. I got an Amazon deal on this, which made it around $75. At that price, it’s worth it knowing it will last a long time, and I winch often in the mountains. Not sure I’d pay any more than that though, as I got through gear more than most.

Used this many time on my jeep wrangler Rubicon x 2024 comes in so handy to change angles or mechanical advantage

Hi I am very happy with this product it is very high quality and built to last . Thank you
