Rope Characteristics
Brait combines braiding technology with plaited ropemaking. Nylon Brait’s most outstanding feature is high energy absorption which is 75% greater than 3-strand rope and 85% greater than nylon double braid. Brait is easily spliced and delivers 100% of the rope’s advertised strength. Nylon Brait has unsurpassed energy absorption making it a natural for lanyard work.
