amsteel II plus

[kenn1320]

I see Samson now has amsteel blue with a double braided sheath. Still lighter than comparable climbing ropes and stronger. Not finding a price on it yet, or color options.

OMG. I have a little movement down below.

I will definitely be getting some of this!

Dang, it... I didn't even get my last order of Samson and now you guys are gonna move on and I won't be cool again.

I swear to you I just had the thought the other day "If Amsteel came with a braided sheath like regular rope that would be awesome". Awesome!

 

[redsquirrel]

Very interesting....

 

[flinginairos]

I see a wave of new tethers being made soon.....lol

 

[kenn1320]

The sheath is available in black, blue, clear, gray, orange, and yellow with Blue and Red ID. Its offered in coated and non coated. The coating is urethane. I have an email in to find out what the purpose of the coating is, cause honestly I cant imagine urethane being for anything but protection from getting dirty.

No pricing info yet?

Urethane aids in abrasion resistance and less likely to stain, but not stain proof.

I had to decide if I wanted coated or not before I got a price. Think Ill look at 7/16 since Ill use a ropeman1.

My source is asking for amount. Anybody interested in a group buy? Im figuring a tether would only require 11.375ft so not a big order obviously. If I added in a double lineman that would bump it to 25.5ft. Since its a new product Im sure the supplier is wanting to know amount so he isn't sitting on a 600ft spool for a long time. So if we got a few people I would inquire on a price for 25-X number of feet and see if I get a break down on price per foot based on X number of feet.

I'd be willing to go for 25 foot. Color preference is gray, then black. I'd really like to get my hands on 8-10 foot for testing first if possible.

I'd be in but I'd just want enough for a tether. I don't really need a linesman belt. I would need big enough for a ropeman too.

 

[g2outdoors]

I'm in for whatever

Sweet Ill put you down for 575ft, we can place the order guys.

 

[g2outdoors]

Lol

Ok, let's talk about this first. 6 pounds per 100 feet for 7/16. That's not super light, it's the same as yale bandit. Yes it's super strong but that's overkill. Not sure this really benefits us.

 

[kenn1320]

As you said earlier Red, would be nice to handle some to see what it is. I would still like to pursue rope I could splice like a daisy chain and eliminate the ropeman 1 from the tether. Ill always have one for my lineman though.

 

[redsquirrel]

Ok. For the moment, count me in for a sample length but not the 25 foot if you do it.

 

[g2outdoors]

I'm with Red. I only want rope that is smaller and lighter. Not interested in more of the same stuff...no matter the strength. I have some of the Samson Ultratech on the way.
