What we liked

  • + Hook-and-loop closure lets you add the sleeve mid-rope without untying
  • + PVC shell shrugs off abrasion over tree bark and rough edges
  • + Anti-wear design suits arborists and rescue teams on fixed lines

Trade-offs

  • - Stiff PVC can feel slippery and shift position on smooth rock lips
  • - Check the length covers the section of rope you need protected
