Having watched a LOT of videos on winch ropes and soft shackles, I'd easily accept that tech if I ever need a winch again. I really don't see many negatives.

Dyneema has an operating range of -40 to 70 deg`s. The winch brake in the drum generates more than that. Steel dissipates the brake heat generated Dyneema not. When switching to Dyneema it is crucial to install headguards on the rope to prevent degrading of the fibers.

in a defense of dyneema.
this is from 2 weeks ago.
5mm dyneema,winching 30 seconds, rest 3 minutes.
20 minutes total for 2 car lengths.

mahindra was pulled out while in neutral gear,as any torque applied to wheels made them slice a earth in front like a hoe.
