This
specialty design features a tough, heat resistant Technora aramid
sheath over durable nylon core strands. The core in this kernmantle
design keeps the VT from flattening and binding up. A computerized large
gauge sewing machine is used to bar tack a devilishly strong stitch
with our custom Technora thread. This thread / stitch combination yields
superior strength and overall durability. Manufactured in the U.S.A.
from Domestic and Globally sourced raw materials.
The VT Prusik is a versatile open-end Prusik. Use to tie: Symmetric Prusik, Asymmetric Prusik (Schwabisch/Distal), Valdotain Tresse, French Prusik
The
VT performs well when used for ascending, self-belay while rappelling,
as a traveling rope grab, or in conjunction with a Prusik minding pulley
in haul systems.
