Product information & specifications
Marlow 9mm Boa Cord – Per Metre
Marlow 9mm Boa is a high-performance prusik and friction-hitch cord constructed with a hardwearing 16-plait polyester cover and a twisted parallel polyester core. Its anti-kink design keeps the cord smooth, round and consistent under load, making it ideal for modern climbing systems where reliability, grip and clean hitch formation are essential.
Boa is widely used by professional arborists for prusiks, micro-prusik loops, friction hitches and general climbing applications due to its excellent abrasion resistance and flexible handling. It offers a strong balance between cost, durability and friction performance, and is also available in a sustainable Blue Ocean® recycled variant.
