A semi-static rope for the more technical and demanding canyoners amongst you. For those who seek a rope which is lightweight and manageable. The rope does not need wetting before use, as it is pre-shrunk at the factory. Did you know rope can shrink up to 8% after you buy it! Finishing STABILITY: total binding of the sheath and core. Elimination of the effect of stocking or slip the cover over the rope. Rope gives a better dimensional stability over its lifetime. Significantly reduces the progressive shrinkage of the cord over time. This finish makes it not necessary to wet them before use and that the first time you wet it will not shrink (you won't lose between 4 and 8% of rope) Finish Durability: high resistance to abrasion with a nicer touch Finish TOTAL DRY: thermochemical with fluorocarbon finish. The rope is waterproof. Absorbs less water, lasts longer and does not freeze
