Dmm couloir rope review.

Edelrid kestrel 8 5mm 48g m. For the vast majority of climbers this is not going to be a. Petzl tango 8 5mm 47g m. My first rope bag so wasn t sure what to expect but this bag is awesome.

All dmm ropes follow uiaa dry standards. With additional heat treatment they don t suffer from stiffness or rigidity feeling supple to handle. Dmm core range specifications the core represents more than just dmm s entry level collection of ropes it is the back bone of the range. Easy to put on even with crampons and bulky winter clothing and as the waistbelt is flat webbing it won t feel uncomfortable under a pack.

Dmm pitch 8 5mm 49g m. You can see the pitch are at the heavier end of the table but on a 50m rope we are talking a difference of 50 to 100g additional weight the equivalent of two chocolate bars. Nothing major but the zipper seems like it might be a weak point. Between outdoor cragging and gym climbing the classic is an excellent all around model if you only want to own one rope bag.

Roomy holds 70m of 10 1 rope with plenty of room left over for most of my gear. The leg loops can be secured with your feet on the ground making the super couloir easy to use while wearing crampons or skis. The super couloir features webbing construction for minimal weight and pack size making it ideal for activities where space and weight are critical. The dmm classic handily earns our editors choice award as the overall best rope bag.

Feels light but durable easy to adjust the straps and a great color. Hard wearing and durable each rope has been designed to withstand heavy use. It features a large tarp comfortable backpack style straps and plenty of space for the essential climbing gear.
