Compatibility, Size and Fit

What to Compare Before Buying
- Length: Match the 60 m rope to the routes and setup you plan to use.
- Equipment compatibility: Check the acceptable rope diameter for each device used with the rope.

Important Limitations
The moisture-resistance description is not a waterproof rating. The listed 8.8 kN impact force is one specification, not a stand-alone measure of overall safety or a substitute for checking the rope’s intended use and instructions.
Before You Decide
Check the 60 m length, compatibility with equipment for a 9.8 mm rope, and fit with your planned rope system. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use, inspection, care, and retirement.
