Marlow Dynaline every time.
Synthetic Fibre Replacement Winch Rope - weighs only a fraction of it's wire rope counterpart and is even stronger!
Dynaline is a 12 strand construction rope coated with Armourcoat to improve abrasion resistance and help protect the rope from ingress of dirt and grit.
The benefits of using Dynaline over wire are:
6 x lighter than wire
70% Stronger than wire
Easy to splice
Does not kink
Floats
No wire splinters
No strength loss when overlapped on winch drum
In the unlikely event that it breaks, it will not whiplash.
