Gear has developed "State-of-the-art" technology in shock absorbing
tear tapes. Past generation tear tapes all required a structural backup
webbing following the tear tapes to accomplish the 22kN (5,000 lbf) ANSI
required ultimate strength. YATES latest technology has incorperated
Dyneema® fibers into the core of the tear tape webbing so that a back up
webbing is no longer required. This results in a loss of bulk in the
shock pack of approximately 50%.
