The BlueWater Ropes Hybrid River Rescue Rope is designed with a unique sheath of solution dyed Polyester and Polypropylene fibers. This rope has better cut and abrasion resistance than 100% Polypropylene sheathed ropes. The larger diameter is easier to grip especially with dry suit gloves. Works well in haul systems designed for 7/16 in. style rescue ropes and features 100% Polypropylene block creel construction core strands. BlueWater is the only manufacturer HUB zone certified and Buy American Act [BAA] qualified.
