Sterling SearchLite™ Search Line:
Reflective, heat resistant, compact, and easily deployed. This unique 7.5mm cord has reflective properties in the sheath and heat resisting fibers in the core. Designed to be easily deployed, easily seen, but not easily destroyed. This rope could become the new standard in search cord.
Developed for the most demanding conditions. For fire crew safety in search operations, and as an important tool for rescue and Rapid Intervention Teams. Aramid fibers such as Technora® are incorporated to achieve the heat resistance, strength, and optimum handling required for these very special ropes.
SearchLite is supple, easy to knot, and extremely durable. Offering an excellent balance of strength, abrasion resistance, and handling. With a tougher sheath and better elongation in the cores to absorb the impact forces from a bail out, if necessary. No other personal escape ropes have been tested as much or as thoroughly. It's no wonder Sterling fire rescue ropes are preferred by top fire and safety instructors – not only in New York City, but around the globe.

Double action ISC aluminum snap-hook/carabiner
One of the fastest, safest, most innovative NFPA-P carabiners we’ve ever seen. This ultra-light, high-strength aircraft aluminum-alloy snap hook provides the safety of a locking-gate carabiner with the one-hand operating convenience of a simple snap hook. Plus it offers the secure connection and rope protection of a captive eye.
Lever-action double gate design offers safety and the one-handed convenience of a simple snap hook.Yet it locks automatically. And stays locked, thanks to its patented double-gate KEY-LOCK™ system. While both the rear lever and gate must be squeezed simultaneously to unlock the gate, it’s done in a completely natural gripping action.
Sewn loop and captive eye provide a secure, tangle-free connection. A small, strong, stainless steel swivel snap hook is permanently stitched to the other end of the rope and can be fastened to a loop inside the bag. It can be easily detached to make a secure terminal connection or link to a second search line if extra distance is required.
