The Rothco 150' Orange Rescue Rappelling Rope gives rescue crews a bright line they can track when the work turns wet. Static polyester keeps stretch low, and because polyester is hydrophobic, the rope absorbs very little water. It arrives preshrunk to reduce shrinkage in the field. A 7,660 lb test tensile strength and a dense, abrasion resistant sheath stand behind every rappel, and it is made in USA.

Why it works:

  • Easy to follow while you rig: A bright line is simple to keep in view during setup. This rope is bright orange for easy visibility.
  • Belongs in wet conditions: Water has little to grab onto in this line. Hydrophobic polyester absorbs very little water, which suits wet situations.
  • Less shrinkage in service: The rope comes ready for the field with less shrinkage once it is in use. It is preshrunk to reduce shrinkage in the field.
  • Low stretch, clear strength figure: A static build limits stretch while increasing strength. This 7/16 inch, 100% polyester rope carries a 7,660 lb test tensile strength.
  • A sheath built for years of use: The outer layer is made to take wear. Its high density sheath is abrasion resistant, and the rope meets or exceeds UIAA and NFPA standards.

Who it's built for:

Built for rope users who want a bright, preshrunk static line for rappelling in wet conditions. Its rescue rappelling design suits rescue work.
