Body Damage is Cool
I'm looking at synthetic winch ropes and it seams there are 2 major types from what I see:

1. Fibers of Arachni - poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide. (kevlar / aramid / twaron)

2. Amsteel / Dyneema - Macromolecular Polyethylene.

Any preferences?

Check out Masterpull

Masterpull is very expensive. Here is their synthetic.

Good luck.....

I believe masterpull offers Expedition Portal members a discount. FYI
