MADE IN THE UK by Marlow Ropes.
KITELINEFreestyle utilises Dyneema Sk78 and is available in 1.8mm diameter. It has a 455kg break load (over 1000Ibs) for improved safety and longevity.
KITELINEFreestyle is a twelve strand, 1.8mm, hollow braid cord made from SK78 Dyneema fibres. With a protective coating that aids against abrasion and increases longevity. We are stocking the colour, Black.
Easy to spice and ideal for heavy-duty ridgelines. However, with a break load measuring over 455kg, it is useful for many other projects.
Multiples are sent as one length unless you specify differently. Price per 5 metres. Please note that once cut and off the reel, hollow braid cordage can retract and become slightly shorter during transit.
