What rigging rope...?

[chrisgilltreesurgery]

Im looking to replace my rigging rope as I shock loaded mine with a bit of a bigger bit than we should have and yes I need a new one!

 

What do you's recommend...?

Been using polydene from Yale nice bit of stretch yet also works well with the grcs. The double esterlon also is good.

Samsons stable braid is a good product ;

As are the trio of Yale lines. Double esterlron & portland braid are both good working lines

- Polydyne is a different kind of cordage

- it stretches more dissipating energy, however I'd not want to winch a big piece up with it on the GRCS for the same property

Double esterlon from Yale works great on rigging and winching.

Best rigging rope I have owned so far !

I use a Marlow 16mm ( red ) , been very good so far , had a Yale before that don't see much between the two .

EB 16mm double braid is good

I've got 16mm Portland Braid. We use it on a Stein Dual bollard and its really nice to handle on the ground and up the tree.

Hmm pretty sure we have been using polydyne it's what I asked for, I'll have to double check now you've given me reason to doubt.

Second that ... I really rate this stuff I have snatched some big bits of stem timber on many jobs and it has not failed yet.. Low stretch makes it great as well for tight rigging.
