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.

A superior handling rescue rope, New England Ropes KM III static kernmantle rope features composite construction, with the continuous filament polyester sheath braided over a continuous nylon fiber core. Featuring a weight-balanced construction with the sheath and the core each representing half the total weight, KM III is torque-balanced to eliminate any spin during a rappel.

Constructed of 100% high-tenacity polyester fiber, Static-Pro Lifeline is an extremely low stretch, kernmantle rescue lifeline that provides advantages when the need for super low elongation offsets the need for the rope to provide energy absorption in the system. With less than 1% stretch at 300 lbs., Static-Pro is an excellent choice for high lines, long rappels, and many mechanical advantage haul systems.

An extremely low-stretch kernmantle rescue lifeline constructed of 100% high-tenacity polyester fiber. The polyester fibers do not absorb water, so there is no loss of strength or increase in weight if the rope gets wet. With less than 2% stretch at 300 lbf, Static-Pro is an excellent choice for high lines, long rappels, and many mechanical advantage haul systems.

With its revolutionary design, the EZ-Stuff throwline bag stands up and stays open when feeding rope, due to its unique flat bottom and trademarked side-grommet location. Hang the bag from your PFD and feed the throwline over your shoulder with the EZ-Stuff bag wide open for efficient stuffing. The short, stocky design also allows more room for your hand when feeding rope.

CMC’s NFPA Throwline Bag Set combines the CMC Rescue NFPA Throwline* with our economical pack cloth bags. The 8-mm diameter line allows for a very compact throw bag.

Our CMC ProSeries RIT Line is 100% aramid fiber for a high level of survivability when used during structural search & rescue. The unique construction of this product makes it easy to stuff into an Escape Line Bag or turnout coat pocket, yet is firm enough to be felt against the floor when following it in low visibilty conditions, even while wearing gloves. Diameter: 5.6mm Weight: 1.57 lbs./100ft MBS: 2,285 lbf. (10.1kN) Temperature rating: 900°F (482°C).

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.

Developed for swiftwater rescue technicians needing the versatility of a throwline with a larger diameter for a better grip, the SRT Throwline is supple enough to fit into a compact throw bag, but has extra strength and is easy to grip when setting tension diagonals or boat lines. The polypropylene core and protective nylon sheath combination produces a strong, supple, highly visible river rescue rope that floats. Rope is sold by the foot.

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.

Our Ladder Line’s spun polyester sheath provides a secure grip with or without gloves, wet or dry. Excellent resistance to UV, rot and mildew extends its service life. Splice or use our Halyard Clamp for easy installation. White with a red tracer. Rope is sold by the foot. Please contact customer support for maximum length available. NFPA 1931 specifies an MBS of 825 lbf for halyards

After thorough investigation, which included reviewing web construction, manufacturer’s tests, and performing our own field evaluations, we feel the mil-spec needle loom web we now offer is comparable in strength and abrasion resistance to the previous-generation shuttle loom (spiral weave) web. Available by the foot or spool. Note: Military standards allow for up to three sections per spool. (1 inch tubular webbing)

We’ve been using our one-inch flat web in our rescue classes for several years and it’s proven to be an excellent performer. While not all flat webs will hold knots securely, the CMC Rescue Flat Webbing has been specifically selected for the suppleness necessary to allow knots to be set securely. Flat web also tends to be easier to untie after a heavy load than the softer tubular web. While the flat web is bulkier than the tubular, it does provide a significantly higher strength.

Our Variable Anchor Strap differs significantly in design and performance from other adjustable anchor straps. By using an additional length of web, it can handle a higher load before slipping. It adjusts from 3 ft (91 cm) to 7 ft (213 cm). The D-ring on one end is larger so the other end can pass through, allowing the strap to be rigged in a choker (girth hitch) configuration and still be adjusted. The high strength, quick adjustability and variable length make this strap a jack of all trades.
Anchor straps have a tough job, and see a lot of wear and tear. Over the years, we’ve learned that cuts and abrasion are the greatest threats to their safety and service life. To dramatically increase both, our Anchor Straps now feature two layers of the same durable mil-spec, resin-coated nylon web.
