Samson ArborPlex 1/2″ Climbing Rope – By the Foot

ARBORPLEX – 12-STRAND BRAIDED POLYESTER CONSTRUCTION OF PLIED POLYESTER & POLYOLEFIN FIBERS

The unique construction of Arbor-Plex wraps a tough polyester jacket of fibers around polyolefin center fibers creating a lightweight, high-strength rope with maximum resistance to wear and fiber fusing.  Arbor-Plex uses a proprietary construction to tighten the braid and keep the roe round and firm for knot control and snag resistance.  The outer polyester fibers utilize Samson’s Parallay fiber orientation to prolong rope life by minimizing the sawing action of fibers over rough surfaces. The signature green stripe assures that any twist in the line is immediately detectable.

ArborPlex was the first synthetic rope designed specifically for the arborist industry and remains one of the best values in  climbing lines today.
