Edelrid Swift Protect Pro Dry 8.9mm Cord
Edelrid Swift Protect Pro Dry is the first dynamic single rope with built-in cut resistance. This means high-strength aramid fibers are integrated into the rope sheath during the braiding process. This increases the cut resistance of the rope many times over. This makes the Swift Protect Pro Dry the ideal lead climbing rope in rough terrain or when an additional safety reserve is required.

Wow, I Doubt A Dynamic Rope Gets Much Better
This Edelrid Swift Protect is a great dynamic rope for my application in Saddle Hunting. The abrasion resistance of this rope far exceeds many different static ropes I have tried in the past, plus it is dynamic (Predator, OpLux, Resc Tech). I am even rappelling with ease utilizing a Munter Hitch or Figure 8. When I have used different dynamic ropes in the past to rappel they were not the easiest to control due to bounce.
