24 Plait Firm Double Braid for Abseiling, Belay & Safety Lines
The Donaghys **Polyester Abseil Braid** is a premium, static descent line engineered for safety-critical applications including abseiling, belay, static descent, and caving.

- Double Braid Construction: The inner core and outer jacket are both braided, providing high strength and a smooth, consistent rope profile that works efficiently with certified abseil and belay hardware.
- Tough & Abrasion Resistant: The high-tenacity Polyester fibres deliver exceptional **toughness and abrasion resistance**, ensuring longevity even in rugged environments.
- Firm Hand Feel: The construction is intentionally **firm**, aiding in control, coiling, and providing a superior feel for superior handling during descent and static applications.
