Why Rescue Pros Trust the VECTOR 12.5 mm

Engineered for Real-World Rescue Conditions
- Durability You Can Feel – A nylon core and polyester sheath work together to minimize compression under load and resist harsh environments like water, mud, and debris.
- EverFlex Technology – Keeps the rope consistently flexible over time, maintaining smooth performance through descenders, pulleys, and mechanical devices.
- Low Stretch, High Efficiency – Static elongation of just 2.4% means maximum energy transfer during raises or lowers, reducing bounce and operator fatigue.
- Excellent Handling – Smooth, consistent feel whether dry, wet, or dirty.
