What is a Prusik?
- Prusik is mainly used as a rope grab to attain progress capture in a rope system, normally a Mechanical advantage system. A Prusik is simply a thin piece of chord or webbing tied into a loop normally with a double fisherman’s knot. The Prusik is then tied onto the thicker rope in such a way that it will not slide down the rope when loaded by pressure.
Why you should always carry a prusik？
1. As a backup for rappelling : Carry a Prusik is to use it as a “third hand”. Adding a Prusik backup while rappelling makes dealing with stuck ropes, traversing, cleaning gear,much safer and easier.
2. When tandem rappelling in the event of an accident: In the event of an accident where you must tandem rappel with your partner, having a Prusik backup is invaluable.
3. For assistance in ascending a rope: Carrying a Prusik gives one the ability to easily ascend a rope should they need to. Rappelling past an anchor in the dark and floundering on the end of the rope until a rescue arrives
4. For use in self-rescue scenarios:Prusiks are the foundation of almost all self-rescue techniques. Whether you are involved in partner rescue, having a dedicated Prusik will ease the process.

These Prusik cords seem of good quality and strong material. Eye inserts make it easier to put carabiner through.

I have not us this for my life line on a prusik yet. I am using these on my landyard. They are too stiff and I found out these are double braided. So the well take years before they are broken in were I can believe that they will be reactive enough to hold me fast before a fall. They are very very stiff like there is a steel cable in; good on making feel safe from breaking however not safe to hold me in place because it wont bind to the other rope.

It's definitely strong but super stiff. I guess it's my own fault I didn't look at the length of the sewn eye, but it's ridiculously long, making it very difficult to put into a VT on a pulley, which is my preferred system. I have a total of 2 years climbing so maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm pretty sure this prusik kinda sucks for a progress system. It's rated tho,so I'll keep it for a back up if I get desperate, a flip line, or for use as a sling basically. It's not super expensive so I don't feel ripped off, but I'm definitely disappointed.

I got the 30" one with the thought that I could use it on my 1/2" rope with my Rope Wrench. However because of the thickness and stiffness of the cord and the length of each sewn end (5 1/2" on each end) it was not long enough to tie the hitches that I wanted to tie. I had a shorter 8mm prusik from another company which worked fine but this one did not work for what I got it for. Other than that seems to be a decent prusik as far as strength wise.

I'm using these with a safety harness at work, 6 month ago I fell off a ladder at work & broke my arm, but now I'm using these cord, at first I received the wrong size, I didn't notice it because I was still on bed rest, but thankfully the shipper did & they were quick to correct the issue..

Like I've said with any Chinese product, I will not bet my life on this, BUT as a secondary backup it will work for me just fine. I'm glad I found it!
