Product information & specifications
Marlow Vega Orange and Green 11.7mm Climbing Rope (CE EN1891 Type B)
Marlow Vega 11.7mm is a high-performance UKCA and CE EN1891 climbing rope designed for professional arborists using modern SRT and mechanical climbing devices. Engineered with one of the lowest elongation values on the market (1.2%), Vega significantly reduces bounce, fatigue and energy loss during ascent—making it ideal for long climbs and advanced work positioning techniques. Its tough braided polyester core delivers excellent stability under load, while the 24-plait jacket provides the flexibility and handling needed for efficient rope-based movement.
With exceptional durability, high UV resistance and dependable performance in all weather conditions, Vega is an excellent choice for climbers who need a lightweight, fast-running line that is both ANSI Z133 compliant and compatible with the latest mechanical devices. Available in 35m and 45m lengths, supplied with a professionally spliced eye.
