Prusik material

Prusik material includes ropes and cords specifically designed for friction hitches in arborist climbing and work positioning. These lines are used to create reliable hitch systems that provide controlled movement, secure grip, and smooth adjustment while working in the tree.

Here you'll find durable prusik cords in various materials and dimensions – designed to work optimally with modern climbing ropes and mechanical systems.

• Cord & hitch line per meter – for those who want to splice or tie their own prusiks.
• Heat-resistant fibers – such as aramid, Technora, and Vectran for high friction resistance.
• Various diameters – to match climbing ropes and desired braking effect.

The right prusik material is crucial for a hitch that grips consistently without premature wear. By choosing the correct combination of material and thickness, you can optimize the lifespan, heat resistance, and function of your climbing system.

Tip: Remember that softer cord provides better grip, while stiffer, heat-resistant fibers often offer a longer lifespan with intensive use.
