Airline Throw Line - 60m (197')
Details
Petzl's Airline throw cord is an excellent choice for performance throw line. Airline has a Dyneema sheathe for added toughness and abrasion resistance over an EVA core. This construction helps it stay nice and round and glide through the tree easily. Airline is very light, so you don't need a very heavy throw weight.
Airline throw cord is just the right blend between flexible and stiff for a cord that throws easily right out of the bag or cube and resist knotting and tangling.

WesSpur Review
I have been trying out the new throw line from Petzl. It is a Dyneema sheathe over what seems like foam core. Brand new off the 60 meter spool it was stiff with a lot of memory. After a few dozen shots in the rain it started to break in. It is one of the better lines for hand throws I have used (after a little bit of break in). With 10 oz. weights the bag would come down easily through dense conifer at around 75 feet. It sails through the air out of the cube with no problems. Overall, after my initial thoughts on the stiffness, it is a great throw line. Petzl hit the mark with this one.
