Product information & specifications
Marlow Viper Cord – 8mm (Sold Per Metre)
Marlow Viper 8mm is a high-performance friction cord designed for professional arborists who need exceptional heat resistance, grip and durability during demanding prusik and hitch applications. Constructed with a Vectran/Polyester cover and a polypropylene core, Viper offers smoother hitch behaviour, reliable friction and prolonged service life in intensive climbing environments.
The Vectran blend provides a significantly higher melting point than standard accessory cords, making Viper ideal for heavy-use systems where friction and heat build-up are unavoidable. Its 24-plait construction delivers excellent flexibility, strong grip on climbing lines and easy knotability when forming friction hitches.
