Ideal for mountain rescue, swiftwater, ski patrol, tower work or other technical uses, where equipment weight is a significant consideration, these lightweight, full-strength Prusik-minding pulleys feature extremely low-profile stainless steel hardware to reduce snagging on rocks, roots, and uneven surfaces.
The most important attribute of a cord used for Prusik hitches is consistency in handling, diameter and strength. Once you have determined the Prusik hitch that works best on your host rope, you want the same performance every time you replace it. CMC Rescue Prusik Cord has the right balance of suppleness for reliable activation, but is not so soft that it wears out rapidly.
Outstanding hand protection meets dexterity in our Rappel Gloves. Wear them to tie knots and work with hardware, set up a system or to rappel. Pittard’s Armor-Tan leather and unique Kevlar® brand fiber stitching combine for unparalleled durability. A double layer at the thumb web protects hands when rappelling, and the wear-resistant double palm guards against heat, moisture, cold, and abrasion. Its second anatomically segmented layer eases grip fatigue.
An excellent choice for shore-based responders, this cost-effective polypropylene line features hollow-braid construction, which makes it easy to handle and stuff into throw bags. Its red/white stripe is highly visible in or out of the water. With life-safety equipment this reasonably priced, you can afford to have a throwline in every patrol car, municipal truck or fire apparatus. Rope is sold by the foot. Please contact customer support for maximum length available.
Machined from 1/2-inch (12.5-mm) plate, our classic Rescue 8 design has been refined for even better performance with today’s selection of rescue rope. Descenders no longer routinely use 5/8-in (16-mm) rope, so the smaller dimensions of our Rescue 8 provide greater control. The proprietary finish on the aluminum model provides outstanding wear resistance, while the nickel-chrome-plated steel model excels in high-wear situations, such as sandy, gritty environments.
Designed for high-angle rescues where minimum weight is important, such as backcountry rescues or air operations, this harness has legs that adjust with a cam buckle for easily placing the patient in the most comfortable position. Color-coded legs aid fast set-up. The system ropes can be attached directly to the 54 kN (12,139 lbf) Delta Quick Link (included) or connected in with carabiners. A 10-ft (3-m) 12.5 mm tender line and nylon storage bag are included. Carabiners not included.
