Edelrid 8.2mm Starling Protect Pro Dry

Ropes are often exposed to sharp edges—especially when used in alpine terrain. As a result, Edelrids' well-established STARLING half rope now uses their Protect technology to offer far greater cut resistance. When manufacturing their 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
• Durably water repellent and dirt resistant thanks to the Pro Dry finish
• Water absorption less than 2% acc. to the UIAA Water Repellent Test
• 3D lap coiling enables instant use without tangles
• Higher sheath content and aramid processing for increased cut resistance under load, e.g. over sharp edges
