Difference

	Where the difference lies
	It’s not only «Swiss quality» and one hundred percent dependability over a long life span which sets our ropes apart. Our research engineers are continually developing innovative solutions that make Mammut ropes «State of the Art», and which have earned us many awards in neutral tests in the past.
	COATINGfinish™
	Our exclusive COATINGfinish™ process is a perfect example. This process demonstrates the innovative power that gives Mammut ropes the decisive technological advantage, and which makes them the trend setter for safety and practical usage. With Mammut’s COATINGfinish™ process, the individual rope strands are Teflon coated in order to minimise chafing and improve friction co-efficiency. Loading, e.g. through a fall, is uniformly distributed through each individual filament, thereby optimising performance. (filament = the finest element of a rope). In this way, substantially lighter ropes with the same number of falls, or ropes which can hold a substantially higher load and have the same weight can be made.
	superDRY™
	Wet ropes are more difficult to handle. When they freeze, their dynamic performance is clearly reduced. Therefore, on alpine, ice and mixed routes, a drytreated rope increases safety. Most normal «dry treatments» treat just the rope’s sheath, but we treat both the sheath and core. This makes the superDRY™ treatment more effective and durable, and optimises handling, abrasion resistance, dirt resistance and life spa.
	duraFLEX™
	duraFLEX™ maintains smooth, consistent handling and long lifespan. This extra heat-treatment process on the finished rope maintains its smooth handling characteristics over time. The ropes remain supple, soft in the hand and retain their original diameter, maintaining these characteristics even after repeated exposure to water, sun, dirt and continuous use.
	Rope Ends
	Due to the movement caused by usage, the rope sheath and core slip relative to each other (sheath slippage). This becomes a real problem when they separate at the end of the rope and fraying occurs. This doesn’t happen to Mammut ropes. We weld the ends of our ropes with an ultra sonic process which is permanent and perfect. The rope core and sheath are therefore permanently joined – forever.
	Middle Marking
	All dynamic ropes from Mammut come with a friction resistant, coloured, middle marking. In choosing a process we made sure that a dye was used that wouldn’t weaken either the sheath or the core filaments.
	Duodess
	A permanent mark in the middle of the rope is useful when rappelling, coiling, and for estimating the length of the remaining rope. Tape markings can get worn away through usage and can complicate handling, for example when using a prusik loop to secure yourself whilst rappelling. Marking with a marker pen, to replace a lost marking tape can chemically damage the rope filaments. With the patented Mammut Duodess design the pattern changes in the middle of the rope. The rope halves are always clearly distinguishable and the marking is permanent, without interfering with handling.
	Triosafe
	The last five to seven meters of the rope are the danger zone. With alpine climbing this is the reserve rope for a dynamic belay, and it indicates that it is time for the lead climber to build an anchor. When rappelling, it’s also necessary to make it to the next stance before reaching the end of the rope. Lowering off longer sport routes continues to lead to accidents when the rope is too short and the end of the rope is overshot. The newly developed Triosafe design works to prevent this danger through durable colour markings of the rope's midway point and five meters before the rope ends.
	Info-Tex
	Anyone buying a Mammut rope gets proven quality. Each of our ropes contains a ribbon with the most important rope data integrated in the rope’s core: manufacturer, testing standards, date of manufacture, UIAA certificate and CE test centre – a permanent reminder of high quality Swiss workmanship.
	Rope Length
	Due to the manufacturing process every «Kernmantle» rope shrinks from use. Depending upon weather (heat, moisture), environment (dust, sand) and type of usage (lead rope, top rope), it’s possible for a rope to shrink by 5-10%. In order to guarantee the advertised rope length we cut our ropes 2,5% longer than indicated.
	Sheath Proportion
	Frequent top roping, gym use, and working routes leads to increased sheath friction, and quicker wearing of the rope. For such applications we offer a rope with an increased sheath proportion. With normal ropes the weight of the sheath, in comparison to that of the core, is 35-45%. Our friction resistant, extreme performance ropes have at least a 45% sheath proportion and therefore, clearly a longer life span.
