Eagle Lite Eco Dry - 9.5mm

PFC-free Eco Dry treatment means that the rope is designed to repel water without using harmful perfluorinated compounds (PFCs). This treatment is important because it makes the rope more environmentally friendly while still providing excellent water resistance, ensuring that your gear is safe for both you and the planet.

Thermo Shield treatment enhances the flexibility and handling of the rope, making it easier to manage during climbs. This is crucial for climbers who need a rope that remains supple and easy to control, especially when rappelling or performing intricate maneuvers.

The 3D Lap Coil technique is a specialized method of coiling the rope that prevents tangling during storage. This means that when you’re ready to use the rope, you won’t waste time untangling it, allowing for a smoother and more efficient climbing experience.

Static elongation refers to how much a rope stretches under a steady weight. A lower static elongation percentage is preferable for climbing, as it means the rope stretches less, providing better control and reducing the risk of falls. This is essential for maintaining safety while climbing.

Dynamic elongation measures how much a rope stretches when subjected to sudden forces, like during a fall. A higher dynamic elongation percentage allows the rope to absorb more energy, which helps reduce the impact force on the climber’s body. This feature is vital for enhancing safety during climbs.

Features like PFC-free Eco Dry treatment, Thermo Shield treatment, and controlled static and dynamic elongation work together to create a climbing rope that is not only durable and easy to handle but also safe. These innovations ensure that climbers can rely on their gear to perform well under various conditions, ultimately enhancing their safety and confidence while climbing.
