Members: 8mm Technora/Dyneema ropes
We have had a good selection of 8mm nylon accessory cord for decades however these cords have never been seriously considered to be ‘ropes’ for technical rescue because they have had serious limitations in strength and abrasion resistance. With the increasing popularity of canyoning (or canyoneering) and the desire for lighter equipment, a few manufacturers have risen to the challenge and produced 8mm products that actually stand on their own as ‘ropes’.
