Ropes are often exposed to sharp edges—especially when used in alpine terrain. As a result, the well-established Edelrid STARLING Protect Pro Dry 8.2 mm half rope now uses the Protect technology to offer far greater cut resistance. When manufacturing the Protect ropes, the sheath is strengthened using a special processing method involving aramid fibers without impairing the ropes’ dynamic properties.
Edelrid Starling Protect Pro Dry Features:
- 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
