Do you mean that it performs over and above a similar rope like Samson's Nystron? Is Polydyne 100% poly cover and 100% nylon core or has it been blended?

I do lots of dynamic rigging and went back to poly/poly double braid because the cycles to failure are so hard to understand and manage. We work the rope hard, like 5:1 safety factors and cut it up after 4 months or so.

 

Not familiar with Samson nystron. I probably had the first sample in the UK some years back....and I recall looking at the stats of cycles to failure v double esterlon. Even though the MBS was very close, the CTF of the polydyne lasted something like 80 % longer. It was some years ago mind, so that figure could be more or less.... but I remember raising my eyebrows upon looking at the chart.
