I’ve been using Sterling 9mm HTP for SRT over the past 18 months. I’ve wanted a slightly longer rope for a while and my HTP was looking a little worn so I guess that’s all the excuse I needed to purchase 8mm OpLux. Below is a side-by-side comparison I thought might help someone.
Purchased length:
9mm HTP 40’
8mm OpLux 45’
Finished length (Figure eight on a bight and double overhand stopper):
9mm HTP 34.5’
8mm HTP 42’
Weight:
40’ 9mm HTP 1.6 pounds
45’ 8mm OpLux 1.3 pounds
