I bought this rope as an emergency rope. Extremely strong for its size being made from Dyneema with a nylon cover sheath. I bought a color of solid black.
Plusses
- high strength, 3100Lbs break
- low stretch and low settle
- light weight
- very durable core
- Highly cut resistant
50/50s
- stiff
Cons
- wish it was sold as a 50ft package rather than the 20ft package.
- cover is nylon so it can chafe (easier than the core).
I bought a second and have woven one into a lifting sling (strength theoretically = 12400lbs).
Yes, I do recommend and would buy again from REI.
