Our Tent Line made by UHMWPE or Spectra® fiber, they are lighter, stronger and safer than wire rope
All that changed with the arrival of high-modulus line. UHMWPE or Spectra® rope is static and will not stretch as wind force increases. This reduces vibration of the tent, pegs from being pulled free and damage to tent poles. It is supple enough to allow knots to be tied. Reflective thread has been woven into the the mantle to increase visibility at night.
1.Extremely light.
2.Extremely thin.
3.Highest breakloads.
4.Made in Shanghai using special coating.
