Same concept as the original aider just much more compact. This rope is 7/32” thick and is as strong as amsteel with over 2500 tensile strength. A very stiff rope with great memory. The heavy duty hosing helps keep the loop open for easier access to rest your foot, plus the snug fit to the rope gives you extra grip with no slip. All materials are Made in the USA Length 22” knot down Total Weight 2.5 oz Tensile strength 2650 lbs Message me for questions. ** Aiders are not meant to be left outside, they are to be stored away after every hunt. ** Always use a linesman rope when using an aider ** Always focus on 3 points of contact when climbing up and down a tree.
