8.2 Starling Protect Pro Dry Rope

Ropes are often exposed to sharp edges—especially when used in alpine terrain. As a result, Edelrid's well-established STARLING half rope now uses the Protect technology to offer far greater cut resistance. When manufacturing the Protect ropes, the sheath is strengthened using a special processing method involving aramid fibers without impairing the ropes’ dynamic properties.

Features

• Higher sheath content and aramid processing for increased cut resistance under load, e.g. over sharp edges
• Durably water repellent and dirt resistant thanks to the Pro Dry finish
• Water absorption of < 2% far lower than required by the UIAA Water Repellent Test
• Thermo Shield treatment for pleasant handling
• 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles
