Product information & specifications
STEIN COPIOUS A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye Sling
The STEIN COPIOUS A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye Sling is a high-performance friction hitch cord designed for arborists who prefer the proven control, adjustability and feel of climbing on friction hitches. Built for smooth hitch dressing, reliable grip and excellent durability, it is an ideal choice for modern tree climbing systems where dependable hitch performance matters.
Available in a range of lengths, this sewn eye sling is designed to work across a variety of hitch setups and climbing preferences, giving arborists the flexibility to fine-tune their system to suit their rope, hitch and hardware combination.
Built for Friction Hitch Performance
Many popular arborist friction hitches require different cord lengths and handling characteristics to perform correctly. The STEIN COPIOUS A-TEC is designed specifically for this purpose, with sewn eye terminations that help the hitch sit, dress and function properly when connected to supporting hardware.
This makes it well suited to arborists who want a purpose-built eye-to-eye friction cord that delivers dependable handling in day-to-day climbing use.
A-TEC Construction for Grip, Durability & Heat Resistance
The A-TEC cord construction combines:
- Polyester / Technora cover
- Polyester core
This blend gives the cord a strong balance of key friction hitch performance characteristics, including:
- Excellent abrasion resistance
- Good grip characteristics
- Improved heat resistance
- Reliable handling in demanding climbing environments
These qualities make the COPIOUS A-TEC particularly suitable for friction hitch use where repeated movement, heat build-up and controlled grabbing are important.

The STEIN COPIOUS A-TEC 8mm Sewn Eye Sling is available in the following lengths:
- 65cm
- 70cm

The STEIN COPIOUS A-TEC has been independently tested in configuration with the following STEIN climbing lines:
- STEIN ACR16
- STEIN ACR24
- STEIN ACR32
This gives added reassurance for arborists looking to pair their hitch cord with compatible STEIN climbing ropes.
Important Inspection Information
Friction cords that contain polyester elements should be rigorously inspected on a regular basis before, during and after each climb. Always refer to the supplied user instructions and carry out proper inspection before use.
