<p>Looking for low weight and high durability? The Swift Protect ticks both those boxes. One of the skinniest around, it meets testing standards to certify it as a single, half, or twin rope and weighs in at a scant 53g/m. The sheath has aramid fibres braided into it, a material commonly found in ballistic armour, resulting in extremly high resistance to abrasion and cutting - a first of its kind in dynamic ropes. The combination of lightness and durability are great for projecting and hard redpoints on rock, ice, or in the alpine.</p><ul><li>Protect sheath with aramid and polyamide fibres is highly cut-resistant</li><li>Thermo Shield treatment gives it excellent handling properties, a supple feel and an impressive strength rating</li><li>Pro Dry finish makes this rope durably water repellent and dirt resistant</li><li>3D lap coiled so you can use it straight away without kinking or tangling</li><li>Meets UIAA standard water-repellent test, meaning this rope is fast-drying, absorbs virtually no water and resists freezing</li><li>Specs shown are for use as a single rope</li><li>When used as a half rope, the specs are as follows:

Edelrid Swift Protect Pro Dry 8.9mm Rope

Dry ropes have a water-resistant treatment on both core and sheath. Dry (UIAA certified) ropes have both core and sheath treated, plus meet the UIAA Water Repellent standard by passing a stringent test where a soaked rope cannot absorb more than 5% of the rope's weight.  

Maximum elongation in the first UIAA test fall, where a weight is attached to the rope and then dropped. Higher numbers indicate stretchier ropes. 

In controlled tests, a weight is suspended from the rope (not dropped). Higher numbers indicate stretchier ropes.

The amount of force, in kN, that the first UIAA fall puts on the falling object. Less impact force puts less force on the climber, belayer, and protection during a fall. 

Indicates the number of consecutive falls a rope withstood during testing in a controlled environment. The number is for reference only, and does not indicate the number of falls a rope will withstand during actual use or over its lifespan.
