8.2 Starling Protect Eco Dry Rope

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.

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 PFC- and PFAS-free Eco 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
