The difference?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Does anyone know what is the difference between Yale Poison Ivy and Poison HiVee? Also, what thickness are they?

 

I'm actually trying to decide which rope to get for my Lockjack.

 

Thanks.

The colour of the jacket.

 

They are 11.7 mm as far as I recall.

Plus others, search Lockjack an there's a few discussing rope types and clutch options for different diam ropes.

only difference is colour as mentioned, and 11.7mm

 

i have poison hivy for my lockjack, it is brilliant. very nice running rope, using a 12/13mm clutch, a lot smoother imo

Treeworker seem to be the only retailer of it and the colours are similar, green and black or green and yellow.

I don't get it. What's the point?

 

I have read all the threads about rope and lockjacks and spiderjacks but I just can't make up my mind.

I've climbed on Tachyon and loved it but would prefer thicker. I've climbed on Imori and loved it but some people say it soaks up water and takes for ever to dry.

Some people say Poison Ivy/HiVee is best but I've never even touched it, hence my indecision.

Any more opinions very much appreciated.

I think the theory behind the hi vee is that it would be much more visible in the tree, when you put the two next to each other there is IMO a noticeable difference in how visible they would be, having said that, i'm sticking with a bright orange line for now!! HoneyBros also stock both.
