Manufactured from an HMPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) high performance fiber and nylon. This combination of high strength, low elongation, and light weight provides superior characteristics over other combinations. HMPE does not lose significant strength with repetitive flexing and offers a huge increase in abrasion and cut resistance over other materials. This can be used for prusiks and friction hitches. CE and UIAA Certified.
