Replacement Lanyard for Hipstar Flex Lanyard

This replacement lanyard is the rope section for the Hipstar Flex lanyard, so you can swap a worn rope and keep the rest of the system. Rope lanyards wear faster than their hardware, and replacing just the rope saves money.

Why replace just the rope

A positioning lanyard gets wrapped around bark, saw-scuffed, and loaded at odd angles every day. The rope wears out long before the adjuster and carabiners. Replacing only the rope keeps a setup you already know and saves the cost of a full new lanyard.

Confirm the replacement matches your lanyard model and adjuster before ordering. If you are not sure what you have, compare with other rope lanyards.

Keep the old rope until the new one is installed, so you can compare length, terminations, and the stopper. It's the easiest way to make sure everything matches.

Fitting and inspection

Install the new rope exactly as the manufacturer's instructions show, with the correct terminations and stopper. If you are not sure, have a qualified person check the setup before it goes in a tree.

Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard, follow ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions, be inspected before every climb, and be used only by trained climbers. Inspect the adjuster and connectors as closely as the new rope; a fresh rope on worn hardware is still a worn lanyard.

Write the date the new rope went into service in your gear log. It makes retirement decisions easier and is a good habit for any life-support gear.
