Kernmantle Rope

Kernmantle Rope

Static rappelling Kernmantle line is constructed with traditional “mantle” sleeve consisting of 48 strands of polyester. The inside, or “kern”, is a braided core of energy absorbing nylon. The core is fully steam stabilized to enhance the rope’s flexibility and prevent hardening in service; the braid also bends more easily and with less fatiguing of the core when cycled over sheaves or dropped over a parapet. Sleeve is either white or solution cast fiber (color added to yarn production) which makes for lasting colors and enhanced wear resistance.

Kernmantle rope is rope constructed with its interior core protected by a woven exterior sheath designed to optimise strength, durability, and flexibility. The core fibers provide the tensile strength of the rope, while the sheath protects the core from abrasion during use.
