For ZigZag users

[StirlingArb]

For anyone using a ZigZag you may use blue tongue or Yale Poison Ivy/Hivy/Calamine versions, I was about to buy the Calamine (pink) version as its that little bit easier to see than the Ivy and Hivy or blue tongue, but I never knew there was a Poison Ivy tropical version till now, and in 11.7mm!!

Nice! I spotted the calamine version on sherill's and pestered honey's till they got it in. The UK version will be ce marked, I know some loler inspectors will baulk at the non ce American version.

Yeh I know Them LOLER inspectors fancy getting upset by something like the law, the legality of selling it in the EU unmarked and the desire for a consistent and predictable performance LOL

What makes you think it wont be consistent or have a predictable performance just because it doesnt have a CE mark? Yale are a great rope manufacturer and put out great products..

 

Perhaps what you meant was the reason those particular ropes in the american version wont get a CE is they dont meet the requisite elongation characteristics for a semi static rope here in europe.. But I dont know, Im not a loler inspector, I am a cynic though.
