Arbortec Cobra DryKit Rope Bag 55L

The Arbortec Cobra DryKit rope bag is a 55L rope and gear bag that protects climbing kit from rain, mud and sawdust. It holds a climbing line plus a fair amount of hardware, so your kit travels as one load.

Protecting the gear you trust your life to

Grit and mud work into rope fibers and wear them from the inside. Sawdust and chain oil do your kit no favors either. A dry, closed rope bag keeps your climbing line and hardware clean on the truck and on the ground, which helps your gear last and makes inspection easier.

At 55 L there is room for a climbing line and a good share of your kit. See other options in gear bags.

A bag this size also helps with organization. When each climber's kit lives in its own bag, it is easier to see what you have, keep track of inspection, and avoid mixing personal life-support gear with the crew's general rigging equipment. That matters when you need to know the history of every piece you climb on.

Packing and care

Flake rope into the bag rather than coiling it, so it pays out without kinks. Keep sharp tools out of the rope bag. If your gear goes in wet, open the bag and let everything dry before storage.

Clean the bag inside and out from time to time. Store rope out of sunlight and away from fuel, oil and battery acid.

Check zips, seams and straps from time to time, and do not overload the bag so the handles and closure last longer.
