Hey Everyone,

I want to let you guys know about a new product I am going to start offering. Its a 3/32" (2.38mm) solid braid cord that's suitable for all sorts of backcountry applications including bear bagging, tent guy lines, tarp ridge lines, and anything else you can can think of. The cord is made with a high tenacity uv reistant Marigold Yellow Nylon jacket and uses two 3M reflective tracers and has a solid Dyneema core which gives it a break strength of 350lbs. Weight: 1.40oz per 50 feet. Works with LineLoc 3's but due to the cord being a bit small they should be backed up with a slippery half hitch.

For more details please check out my website. Mountainfitter.com

Thanks,
Lawson

This appears to be similar to Kelty Triptease cord. Can you tell us how this is superior or different?

Yours is less expensive, and it is slightly heavier.

This cord is very similar to Kelty Triptease. As far as colors go I think its a shade or two off but its really close. This is actually a sample cord a mill custom made for me using in-stock materials so essentially they could make the Triptease for Kelty but they wouldn't tell me. I will be eventually switching to a hi-viz orange sheath but in the mean time I wanted to see how the cord worked with sizing, weight, break strength, etc... Thats really the reason for the discounted price..

I think most people would probably just buy that Dyneema cord you stock. Its bright orange, weighs less than the reflective stuff, and has 5 times the breaking strength.

It's not just about breaking strength. I don't like the urethane-coated line.

Here is a comparison of lightweight lines:

Nice Job on the the spreadsheet. Its crazy how many different types of cord lightweight backpackers use..

I looked at the wrong specs on the cord. The cord is rated to 350lbs rather then 200lbs like I originally thought so at 350lbs its almost double that of Kelty Triptease.

Great. Let's go get about two or three guys to hang off one of those and see when it breaks.

Wouldn't take 3 people in my case...

Your website still sez 200 lbs...
