SamsonDry

 

Working outside year-round means your ropes get wet. That's why we're excited to introduce SamsonDry, a revolutionary hydrophobic coating that reduces water uptake in rope by 95% - keeping it lighter and safer in wet conditions. 

Our SamsonDry climbing lines went through rigorous lab and field testing to ensure they would meet or exceed our expectations. We weren't disappointed. The strength and elongation specs were outstanding, and how the lines worked with hardware got great reviews from our test climbers. And SamsonDry ropes remained Samson dry in wet weather.



“I enjoyed climbing on it! Soft hand, knots well...stayed reasonably round running through a rope runner. Used it DdRT with hitch climber setup too.  Very nice rope on rope interface. Worked great."

      Water Absorption = Weight Increase

       

      Polyester or nylon rope soaked in a bucket of water can absorb enough liquid to increase its weight by 45% - making a 15lb 200’ hank of double braid climbing line over 22lbs. SamsonDry hydrophobic technology reduces the water uptake to less than 5%, making that same hank of rope only 15.5lbs when soaking wet. Now you can work safer and drier using the climbing ropes you already know and trust.

      The Future is Dry

      Currently available on our V-Series premium climbing and rigging lines, SamsonDry will soon be available on products in other markets, such as sailing and rescue and access.
