Escape Line
Based on the proven design of New England KM III Rescue Rope, this low-stretch 8.5-mm kernmantle escape line provides outstanding performance with its polyester sheath covering a nylon core. It’s large enough for easy handling, while still compact when stuffed in a bag or pocket. The bright orange color with yellow stripe provides high visibility.
Rope is sold by the foot.
