"Since first sampling the product in New Zealand three years ago, Armor Prus has become an important part of our climbing system. As a climbing prusik, the cord performs brilliantly, when tied correctly it is reliable and runs well on modern double braid climbing lines. As it has a breaking strength exceeding 22kN, the 8mm Armor Prus is perfect to splice as a footlock prusik or as a backup link in SRT systems. The only problem with Armor Prus is that other climbers always want to 'borrow' some -- piss off, get your own!" -- Grant Cody, Australian Champion Tree Climber.
