Designed specifically for Arborists, Gecko is constructed with a tough and durable 16 plait polyester cover and a braided polyester core. This combination makes the rope very supple, hard wearing and strong. To further increase the abrasion resistance, each individual yarn in the cover has been treated with the Marlow Abrasion Resistance coating as standard. Gecko is CE certified and available in 2 colour options with either spliced or sewn eye terminations which come with removable cloth protection as standard. (Tested in accordance with EN 1891 - Protection against falls from a height: Low-stretch kernmantel rope).
