Thought I'd
experiment with some extra protection and possibly entice some buyers. Sort of stand out from the rest. Although I am looking for sleeves for the 7/16 shackles I am making for offroad use. The idea sort of stemmed from this. The fiberglass sleeve is actually VERY pliable. It also expands. It slips over the 2 strands no problem. I had originally measured the length to cover everything below the nut but the expansion made it shorter.
I'm not using Dyneema sleeve because of the cost and still unsure about its selling point.I got it from Aliexpress (I know, I know, but some things are not really bad, depending on what it is)

The
price is much more affordable and so that is why I bought some to
experiment.
There are several sizes. smallest is 1mm and largest is 40mm, and said it is used for
electrical wire and
cables as insulation/protection.
I figure the Fiberglass is pretty robust so really interested to how it holds up.
I might have to find someone on here willing to test and report on it since I dont have a sailboat. Anyone interested? Ill send you a couple or 4 and you test and report back on this thread
