Ropes are often exposed to sharp edges—especially when used in alpine terrain. As a result, our well-established STARLING half rope now uses our Protect technology to offer far greater cut resistance. When manufacturing our Protect ropes, the sheath is strengthened using a special processing method involving aramid fibers without impairing the ropes’ dynamic properties.
- Thermo Shield treatment for perfect handling
- Durably water repellent and dirt resistant thanks to the Pro Dry finish
- Water absorption less than 2% acc. to the UIAA Water Repellent Test
- 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles
- Higher sheath content and aramid processing for increased cut resistance under load, e.g. over sharp edges
