Endura Dry: is a multi-stage application process in which every each individual core yarn is treated prior to braiding. The cores are then covered with an additional protective cover so that water has no chance. In the 2X dry process, this is repeated a second time. Finally, the rope is treated once again to create a firm, permanent bond between the coating layers and the finished braided rope. The Endura Dry process achieves more than simply the strong water-repellent properties of your climbing rope: Endura Dry acts as a lubricant between the individual fibres in the core, and this extends the lifespan of your rope significantly.
