Cougar Orange vs blue

It's not all bad ! I don't know how they can call the CE stuff cougar as it has a completely different core.

Haha yep a Nylon one... BOIIIIING! It is a bit of a joke. People bought the original cougar because they liked it as a product but people want a CE approved rope. So they changed the rope completely and kept the same name. I cant imagine they will sell as many of this new kind, except to those that are not switched on enough to check the difference and just heard that "cougar" is a good rope.

The original was polyester core and cover. The new one is poly cover and nylon core as far as I can gather. I have had a very brief climb on it and to me it was clear that the new version is more stretchy/bouncy. For me thats a deal breaker because I bought the original because of its low elongation. Others may feel differently. Don't let me put you off it.
