Description

The Imlay Slyther is a lightweight technical rope designed to combine durability with a smooth, supple feel. Its 8.1mm diameter and specialized fiber construction deliver a low-stretch rope with a distinctive handling character. The sheath consists of 75% Technora and 25% polyester, surrounding a Dyneema core. At 41.71 grams per meter, the Slyther is designed to keep rope weight down on technical adventures. The listed 210-foot length is the actual length of the rope sold as a nominal 200-foot length, allowing for expected shrinkage. The manufacturer recommends three wet/dry cycles before use to improve the rope's feel. Users should be aware that the rope can be exceptionally fast when new and that the manufacturer reports potential knot-tightening issues when using toggling systems.
