The Escape Line is a low-stretch 8.5 mm kernmantle rope engineered specifically for emergency escape applications. Based on the proven design of Teufelberger KM III Rescue Rope, this escape line combines a durable high-tenacity polyester sheath with a strong nylon core to provide outstanding handling, strength, and reliability in critical situations.
Designed to be compact enough for storage in escape bags or pockets while remaining large enough for confident handling, the Escape Line features a bright orange rope body with a yellow tracer for enhanced visibility in low-light and emergency environments. Its balanced 32-strand braided sheath construction minimizes torque while maximizing abrasion resistance, making it a dependable choice for firefighters and rescue professionals.
Rope is sold by the foot and includes finished rope ends at no additional charge. Custom lengths are available with no cutting fees.
