This kit contains the following components: * 40 feet of rescueDIRECT 7.5mm Heat Resistant Hi-Visibility Personal Escape Rope / Searchline Made exclusively for rescueDIRECT.com by BlueWater Ropes! The next generation of Searchline / Personal Escape Rope. Our exclusive RETRO-REFLECTIVE strand is woven through the sheath for excellent visibility in low light situations. Innovative sheath design features a 50/50 mix of Technora for heat resistance, strength and cut resistance, and polyester for high visibility and an indicator for excessive heat exposure. The Nylon core provides cross section stability during rappels and offers some forgiveness in "shock load" situations. The Technora provides the necessary fire resistant properties while the Polyester and reflective tracer provide high visibility. Technora has the highest heat resistance of any aramid available today. Better fiber flex fatigue resistance makes it the ideal choice over aramids of the past. The hybrid sheath operates in a very controllable and smooth manner in descent devices designed for escape ropes.
