Starling Protect Pro Dry 8.2mm Dynamic half & twin rope with integrated cut resistance Half & twin 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 When used as a single rope, not suitable for top-rope or workout climbing Long-lasting water-repellent and dirt-resistant, thanks to the Pro Dry finish Water absorption less than 2% as per UIAA Water Repellent Test 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles Higher sheath content and aramid processing for Aramid in sheath increases cut resistance under load, e.g. over sharp edges Certified as a half & twin rope Read more The new EDELRID 3D Lap Coil technique makes uncoiling the rope for the first time unnecessary. We extended our production site with a brand new lap coiling machine that specially winds up our ropes. You do not have to do more than pulling it out! Get the full potential of the rope from the start without twisting and tangling Give Sharp Edges the Cold Shoulder. The development of a new braiding process and the combination of high-strength aramid and polyamide fibers allows us to produce ropes with a high cut resistance while still complying with the standard for dynamic mountain ropes. Significantly higher cut resistance Complies with the standard for dynamic mountain ropes We apply complex finishing treatments to make our ropes durably water- and dirt-resistant. Water absorption equal to only 1-2% in accordance with the UIAA water-repellent test Durably water-repellent and dirt-resistant High abrasion resistance Outstanding performance in cold and wet conditions Narrow diameters for less weight per meter Optimally gliding characteristics Thermo Shield is the standard treatment that we apply to all our ropes. The thermal stabilizing process ensures that the core and sheath yarns are perfectly balanced.
