Is my rope really impregnated?

Many of us/you prefer to buy ropes properly treated against moisture and dirt. Good impregnation truly ensures we can face waterfalls and snow without rope worries, letting us focus purely on climbing. As you know, non-impregnated ropes can absorb up to 40% water, becoming significantly less safe.

Sterling has produced impregnated ropes from the very beginning, with each individual fiber specially treated. Another reason to choose Sterling? Their ropes recently earned certification for absorbing less than 5% water- a benchmark achievement.

The crucial difference lies in the fact that not all manufacturers’ impregnations are equal, leading to varied rope performance in ice, snow, and during climbs.

Despite their advanced impregnation, Sterling has managed to maintain exceptional rope durability.

When you next buy a rope-one you hope will last-consult us. Choosing the right rope isn’t as simple as it seems.
