Detailed Description
The Rip-Strip HD is the heavy-duty version of Avant's quick-release rope protector, built for fixed lines and rigging kits where edges are rough and the protector sees a lot of use. Grab the gripper tab, pull down, and the tube peels off the rope in one motion, so you can clear it with one hand and clip it to your harness without stopping.
Features
- One-handed removal: a hook-and-loop rip strip opens the full length of the tube with a single downward pull.
- Heavy-duty TPU fabric: textured TPU coating over a durable nylon weave stands up to abrasive edges.
- Rubber rope clamp: holds the protector at the height you set on the rope. It attaches with a girth hitch, so it's easy to replace.
- Captive racking carabiner: a no-flip accessory biner keeps the protector hanging from the rope after you rip it free, then clips straight to a gear loop.
Specifications
- Weight: 166 g (5.9 oz)
- Protector tube length: 56 cm (22 in)

How to Use
- Fit the rubber clamp onto the rope and slide it to set the protector height.
- Wrap the tube around the rope and press the hook-and-loop closed, with the rip strip covering the closure.

- To remove, pull the gripper tab down, then unclip the carabiner from the rope and clip it to your harness.

The included carabiner is an accessory carabiner for racking the protector only. It is not rated for climbing or any life-safety load. Read the manufacturer's instructions before use.
