Stable Braid SamsonDry 12mm (1/2") Rigging Rope
Stable Braid SamsonDry is treated with an advanced formula that reduces water uptake. A regular rigging rope may absorb up to 45% of its weight in water, SamsonDry limits that absorption to less than 5%, adhering to UIAA standards. This makes a rope that is lighter and easier to handle in wet conditions. As an added benefit, a dry rope won't freeze if left outside in cold weather!
Samson Stable Braid is still one of the best rigging lines available. In 1/2" diameter, Samson Stable Braid has a breaking strength of 10,400 lbs. Stable Braid is a double-braid, 100% polyester rigging rope that is exceptionally low stretch, abrasion-resistant, and runs best though an arborist block.
It is flexible and easy to handle, which makes a great combination with the high strength of this rope. 1/2" Samson Stable Braid is incredibly strong for its size, and makes a great everyday rigging line.
