FEATURES
- 8mm SEWN-EYE VT Prusik Hitch Cord, yielding 29kN / 6500Lbs Basket MBS, and made of 100% high tenacity Polyester with CNC machine sewn eyes at ends. Used to tie various friction hitches (VT, Distel, Schwabisch, Prusik) on the standing line of 11~12.5mm (7/16~1/2inch), and to be incorporated in SRT, DDRT climbing systems, mechanical advantage pulley systems in tree care, arborist, caving, canyoneering, crevasse rescue, etc.
- Supple in handling, and double-braid constructed to be solidly round, it's easy to tie, dress and untie hitch knots (VT, Distel, Schwabisch, asymmetrical/symmetrical Prusik, etc) with this VT Prusik Cord. When hitches around the rope, to have a good grip, the recommended diameter range of the standing line is 11~12.5mm / 7/16~1/2 inch.
- HIGH-BREAKING STRENGTH! 29kN Basket MBS(Min. Breaking Strength) and 17kN End-to-end MBS, the hitch cord excels in both professional and general uses. CNC machine stitching gives sewn eyes high strength. A heavy transparent heat shrink sleeve is applied around the stitching to protect it from abrading during use and allow you to easily inspect the stitching condition. That sends the VT Prusik Cord to gain unbeatable durability and longer service life.
- Made of High Tenacity Polyester to increase performance in various aspects, to get higher tensile strength and excellent abrasion resistance. Low water absorption makes the Prusik cord not easily lose its shape even after being used for a long time, highly adaptive to outdoor activities. Double braid - Core and Sheath rope construction - this “sturdy sheath” further enhances great abrasion resistance and guarantees long-life utilization.
- One of the most versatile gears added to your rack, compact and light, easy for carrying, convenient for a wide variety of uses, from ascending ropes, rappel or abseil backup, making tandem prusik belay in rescue, adjustable anchor set-up, to general recreational sports and activities, like setting aerial yoga silk, hanging tarps and hammocks.
