When pulling the dock out of the lake for winter, we use the winch on my ATV. One concern I have with this is that there is a lot of tension on that winch cable and if something ever broke, I am not sure I could get out of the way fast enough. That is why I ordered this AUTMATCH Winch Damper. This should help in controlling the murderous cable if there was break. Thankfully, I haven't tested it yet but the approach to this solution seems sound. It does give me a lot of peace of mind.

Using a winch scares me to death. I've seen too many videos of the line breaking and slinging backwards through a windshield or radiator or flying forward and slicing into a person standing too close or not behind the cover of a tree or something. Scary situations where medical assistance may not be easily accessible. The likelihood of these situations can be lessened by using proper safety gear like this to throw over your line to act as a weight forcing the line down to the ground in lieu of it flying back through the air. Cool thing about this winch damper is that you can add sand or dirt to it to further weigh it down if you feel the need to do so. It has a Velcro backing so that you don't have to worry about it flopping off with line bounce. On a fashion note, it also doubles as a safety vest to help poor sighted hunters from mistaking you for an animal. So, for safety's sake, you NEED this item in your recovery kit to lower the possibility of getting hurt out in the wild by a broken winch line.

Granted, I haven't had a ton of experience with winching but I've used a steel cable winch and when I do I use this type of safety device to prevent damage to body and vehicle should a cable snap or somehow pop loose. There is a ton of tension in a winch cable when in use and a snapped cable is dangerous. This damper is well designed and easy to use, which I feel adds to the chances you're actually going to use it. First, the material is super durable and its safety orange colors remind you why you need it. The damper bag itself has some heft to it, but really it should be filled with some kind of ballast to properly slow down a recoiling cable. For that it has some pockets on the inside of the damper bag to which can be added rocks, a bottle jack, or whatever else you have handy. I have a nice hefty piece of 3"x4" oak that works well and fits in the pocket nicely. The damper also has heavy duty velcro along the bottom which means you don't need to "thread" it onto your cable. You can mount it onto a winch cable that is already hooked up. This is just a nicely thought out tool for your self-recovery tool kit that packs down small and does what it's supposed to.

A credible choice among the alternatives. Most who are reading this are already familiar with the version available from the justly famous winch manufacturer. This one is a little larger, and has a bit more reflective material, but for their primary purpose, they are capable of a near identical level of performance--not surprising as they operate on the same principle and their design is essentially the same.Quality of construction is also comparable, though the end banding on my Warn is more tightly and double stitched--compared to the more widely spaced and single stitching on the Autmatch. I don't know the composition of the threads used, but I assume they are both a comparable synthetic.The autmach makes a point that it can double as a safety vest--while true in principle, few will find it all the acceptable in practice. Short of wearing it over a leather coat, the long runs of heavy duty Velcro are going to catch and abrade most fabrics. You are not going to be happy at the end of any sustained wear,Both lack a handle for carrying, a very nice feature when you might be employing it 75 feet or more from your vehicle, and/or when the pocket is filled with other recovery gear components. . Both have but a single pocket touted as able to hold other recovery gear or into which to add additional hanging weight can be achieved through sand or equipment. The pocket is wide and deep, with the mouth running its full length; there is no closure. I'm not comfortable with it being sufficiently secure as to transport equipment at a recovery scene. Like with the Warn, but not the Gear America, there is but that single pocket on just one of the two flaps. I would prefer one on each flap to allow for greater means to add additional weight, or gear. All of these are small things, but still worthy of consideration when choosing among the alternatives.A final quick thought about use with synthetic winch line. A lot of people dismiss the idea of carrying a winch damper when using synthetic line--I'm not one of them.1. Synthetic line stillhas stretch and some mass--even more so if pulley or carabiners are attached along it. 2. When rewinding your line, the winch damper can add some mass and resistance, resulting in a smooth line pack on the wind drum.3. Even if you don't believe you have a need for one for use with your synthetic line, keep in mind that there may come the day when you will need rescue by means of another winch (such as being hauled from the rear), one which is using steel line, but the other person may not have a damper of their own. Having a damper of your own can add to your safety, as well as the safety of others.
