Sterling Rope

<p>Balancing durability, weight and dry treatment, the Velocity is an all-arounder for almost any situation. It has a solid hand for easy clipping and a smooth, tight sheath for low drag through gear and over rock, with a low weight and impact force to take on any rock or ice project. The new XEROS dry technology is applied when the nylon is still a filament, treating the entire rope from core to sheath, and resulting in less waste and energy use than traditional treatments.</p><ul><li>XEROS permanent dry treatment is applied to nylon filaments before they're twisted into yarns. This results in less water absorption through the entire rope and prevents freezing in cold environments</li><li>Made with PFOA-free, PFAS-free, and bluesign® certified raw materials</li><li>Middle mark increases safety and speed on rappels</li></ul>

Sterling Rope Velocity 9.8mm XEROS Dry 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.
