SUPERSTATIC2™ Sterling spent two years engineering, improving and testing new nylon static cores. Our goal was to improve the overall handling characteristics of our SuperStatic nylon ropes, allowing for a greater range of gear compatibility, without diminishing strength or durability. The result is our new line of SuperStatic2 ropes. These ropes feature diameters that are slightly smaller, with better handling characteristics, and yet still maintain their strength and our signature durability. SuperStatic2™ ropes are 100% nylon and excel in many applications, including rope access, technical rescue, rigging, and tactical operations. They are designed with a high denier, and a tight and durable sheath to reduce stiffness, work well through gear, and provide smooth rappels. Our Better Braid Technology™ matches our unique thermodynamic yarn balancing and twist in the core to proper twist and braid construction in the sheath to create a strong, resilient rope with a perfect balance of strength, proper elongation and exceptional handling. These ropes are easy to knot, will stay round, and have optimal elongation when loaded. Engineered and certified to the highest standards, our new SuperStatic2 ropes have been field tested, used and proven by the top instructors, rescue personnel, and rope technicians worldwide.
1/2” SUPERSTATIC2™ New and improved, the best General Use rescue rope now weighs less, is slightly skinnier, but still features high strength. Our new core combined with our unique sheath construction makes this a durable rope with great handling. Plus, the new design allows for a broad range of gear compatibility. • Ideal for all types of high angle rescue scenarios ; fire service, industrial safety, confined space and work at height • The professionals’ choice for main and belay lines
