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.
