Arbor-Plex was the first synthetic rope designed specifically for the arborist industry and remains one of the most-used lines today, both as an arborist climbing line and as a rigging line in larger diameters. Arbor-Plex is constructed of a tough polyester jacket around polyolefin center fibers which creates a light, high-strength rope with maximum wear resistance. Samson braids Arbor-Plex to be tighter than other 12-strand climbing lines for extra durability and snag resistance. Newer ropes might be stronger (see ArborMaster®) or lighter (see Velocity), but Arbor-Plex is still an excellent choice for an economical climbing line that you can rely on.
