Breaking Strength
Product Description
The ideal cord for prusik knots applied in canyoneering, climbing, rescue, or arborist applications
Prusik Cord strikes the perfect balance between firm and supple. Ropes were engineered so that the rope has enough give to grip the climbing rope but is not so mushy that the knot locks up. This results in a smooth, controlled movement over the climbing rope and makes untying the prusik knot easier.
Prusik Cord is available in assorted colors in 5mm – 9mm diameters.

5 mm cord for making prussik loops.
This will work well for making prussik loops. The strength is excellent and equal to all other materials I have used. Some 5 mm prussik cord material is a bit more flexible than others, and this tends to be in the stiffer range. However, after some use it may well be more flexible. While I don't expect use it to hold my full weight, I have tested it with my full weight, and it holds up well. So, I have no complaints..
