Looking for low weight and high durability? The Swift Protect ticks both those boxes. One of the skinniest around, it meets testing standards to certify it as a single, half, or twin rope and weighs in at a scant 53g/m. The sheath has aramid fibres braided into it, a material commonly found in ballistic armour, resulting in extremly high resistance to abrasion and cutting - a first of its kind in dynamic ropes. The combination of lightness and durability are great for projecting and hard redpoints on rock, ice, or in the alpine.
- Protect sheath with aramid and polyamide fibres is highly cut-resistant
- Thermo Shield treatment gives it excellent handling properties, a supple feel and an impressive strength rating
- Pro Dry finish makes this rope durably water repellent and dirt resistant
- 3D lap coiled so you can use it straight away without kinking or tangling
- Meets UIAA standard water-repellent test, meaning this rope is fast-drying, absorbs virtually no water and resists freezing
- Specs shown are for use as a single rope
- When used as a half rope, the specs are as follows: Dynamic elongation: 26% Static elongation: 5.2% Impact force: 7.3kN UIAA fall rating: 18
- When used as a twin rope, the specs are as follows (based on tests with 2 strands): Dynamic elongation: 25% Static elongation: 3.5% Impact force: 11.8kN UIAA fall rating: 30
