KM-III is an exceptional static rope for rappelling, wall development, caving, rescue, fixed-rope applications, hauling, and life-safety application. Our unique polyester sheath differentiates KM-III from other static ropes. The polyester sheath is balanced with a nylon core to limit rotation, bouncing, and stretch. KM-III is NFPA and CE approved, and comes with an NFPA certification tag and CE labels. This is one of the most durable static rope available, with the handling and knotability you expect from New England Ropes.
