The Fly represents a quantum leap forward in the evolution of the static kernmantle. Combining New England Ropes' rich history of innovation and engineering along with extensive research & development with leading experts in the field has yielded this revolutionary rope. Designed for all vertical applications that interface with mechanical hardware, The Fly offers a level of performance never before thought possible. Not only does The Fly break down the conventional wisdoms on performance, but also the notion that static kernmantles can't be spliced. Built to the exacting EN 1891 standard for low elongation ropes,
The Fly offers the perfect combination of the low stretch characteristics of a static rope with the added safety of being able to withstand the forces and absorb some of the energy generated by a fall. The Fly's unique construction creates a rope that's easy to knot yet resists flattening and glazing. With a hand that's the perfect balance between firm and supple, The Fly runs through gear without feeling mushy and gives you a smooth and controlled descent. Add to this excellent knot holding capabilities, and The Fly gives you all the confidence you need when working aloft.

Features: Unique spliceable kernmantle construction, Resists flattening and glazing, Excellent knot holding/Easy to knot, Low elongation
Applications: Arborist Climbing Rope and
Rope Access
Sunlight/UV: Very little degradation from sunlight. Can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly.
Chemicals: Nylon will degrade with strong oxidizing agents, mineral acids, and 90% formic acid. May discolor when exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide. Polyester has good resistance to most chemicals, except 95% sulfuric acid and strong alkalines at boil.
Heat: Nylon melts at 460°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F. Polyester melts at 480°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F.
Good resistance to the passage of electrical current. However, dirt, surface contaminants, water entrapment, and the like can significantly affect dielectric properties. Extreme caution should be exercised any time a rope is in the proximity of live circuits.
