GP-T Braid pairs a HMPE core with a Technora®/polyester composite cover for superior heat and abrasion resistance. It offers ultra-low stretch and excellent grip, making it ideal for high-load sailing applications.
Combining the strength of HMPE with the heat-resistant qualities of Technora, GP-T Braid is built for performance. Its core delivers high tensile strength and minimal stretch, while the Technora/polyester blend cover adds durability and grip when running through blocks and clutches. This rope manages friction-generated heat better than standard polyester covers, making it ideal for halyards, sheets, control lines and other rigging where heat and abrasion are concerns.
With low creep and a smooth yet grippy feel, GP-T Braid offers dependable handling and strength for sailors who demand more from their lines.
