BlueWater Ropes 1" Tubular Climb-Spec Nylon Webbing

If you don't know Blue Water you should. My life has been hanging by their thread many times. Top notch gear for vertical caving. It aint the pits in the pit.

The straps are good, they hold weight, they're easy to cut and melt and make into stuff.I bought them to make OLY lifting straps, the kind that are sewed/taped at the ends into a teardrop shape, not the heavy deadlifting straps you tie around your wrists.They're great for saving your grip endurance during single arm dumbbell rows or trap raises or lunges, for deadlifts they work. They hold the weight, but the 1 inch webbing is too thin for me personally. Nice and soft though, not rough like furniture lifting straps or tie downs/strap downs.If you want to make your own lifting straps for heavy duty lifting, get some 1.5 or even 2 inch webbing, this product is good, so i'm sure if bluewater makes larger webbing that would be good as well.Otherwise great product, webbing wasn't rough at all, came fast, big roll of webbing for like ~10 bucks, which is the lowest price you'll find a single set of straps for.

Good

Some years ago I took a Fast Rescue Boat course taught by former Los Angeles Life Guards who in the course of their learning how to operate Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) were in a position to teach USCG and USN personnel. When the Standards for Training and Certification of Watchkeeprs for merchant mariners was enacted and Fast Rescue Boats were added to the required certification, 12 foot long webbing was introduced to us. I've not seen them on YouTube the way I was taught - they have showed the Water Knot how to join the webbing [...] - a throw bag is part of the rescue solution too - heaving and stuffing it are shown on [...](throwing) - [...]What's missing is using webbing to make a non-cinching loop around someone you have to haul onboard - often called a double lark's head - that can be turned into a harness for a rescue swimmer - allowing a carabiner to attach harness to throw bag - letting rescuer grab the victim and the person on the boat or shore or dock haul the two people to them.I've also used this webbing material for a 2nd story home escape apparatus - [...]This is great stuff. This webbing is easy to work with - use a lighter to keep edges from unraveling.

just like advertised. good for tying things down, or up. actually, this is a bit expensive for webbing. if i were you, i'd head down to your local climbing shop and have that nice young man cut you a fresh piece off their big ol' spool. it'll save you a couple Roosevelts and support your local climbing gym. that being said, i bought on here because prime shipped it to my door so my lazy self didn't have to put on pants and drive all the way down there. i guess that's worth something...

These worked wicked well for top-rope anchor-building when slinging trees. They shipped and got to me really quickly as well, which was a pleasant surprise!I purchased four of these to construct top-rope anchors for a recent climbing trip to sling trees in an area we had never been before. We had tons of leftover length that we wrapped around several times around a tree, on climbs that were closer to the trees/anchors, but had enough in instances where the trees/anchors were further back as well.These honestly worked wonders. I felt really confident in using these with a water knot with at least a 3-4 inch tail, but we added a back up single fisherman's to the tails just to be safe.Very solid for climbing and belaying off of when slinging sturdy trees, just have to be sure to tie your water knot appropriately! :)

I was always wary of the hammock straps that came with our hammock. This webbing is cheap, but you can easily tie it around a tree to make sure you won't fall on your butt while trying to relax. I got two. Totally happy.Also, I'm on a search and rescue team, and this is the stuff we'd use to pull you out of a valley on a litter if you were injured, so I trust it.

I split the webbing into 15' segments to use for my hammock. So far it has worked really well. Holds tension well, holds knots well, and stays pretty clean.I use another one for climbing anchors and that has held up just as well, and I'm expecting them to last for a while.Definitely consider for use with your hammock if you can tie a basic water knot, its a lot more weight bearing than ENO's straps and wont sag in the dew. Plus it's cheaper!Solid product by Bluewater
