Introducing Vortex SD – with SamsonDryTM, Samson's exclusive hydrophobic coating.
The lightest premium climbing line available of its size, adding SamsonDry to Vortex limits water absorption to less than 5% keeping your line lighter and safer in wet conditions.
Vortex tree climbing rope from Samson offers everything that Velocity delivers, but it is a full 1/2" (12.7mm) in diameter. The slightly larger diameter is easier to grip and it has the same great feeling of being broken in right out of the bag. Vortex has high strength, is light weight, has excellent knot holding capability, works well with hardware and is great for footlocking.
Available with a tight eye splice. Samson does not recommend having two splices on this rope due to milking issues.
