Ocean Polyester is Teufelberger's response to the high demands made of hitch cords. Composed of a polyester/aramide sheath and a polyester core, its construction makes the rope highly abrasion resistant, grippy, and heat resistant. Boasting a long service life, Ocean Polyester is great value for the money. These hitch cords feature CNC sewn eyes on each end. The sewn eyes are every bit as strong as a hand spliced eye, but we can offer them at a lower price. For a consumable item such at this, the lower priced sewn eyes make a lot of sense for many climbers.
