For anyone who actually climbs, and knows what gear is and what materials are and how to use said great will quickly see there’s really nothing to criticize here.The rope is made from UHMPE, which is commonly sold and known by a popular brand name, dyneema. This is what all my saddles have as bridges. On the first use of maybe two it will slip a bit (like 1/2” to 1” type range) while fibers compress some of whatever goes on but it will soon lock in and can still be moved but generally with some elbow put into it. It’s one of the strongest rope materials out there and yes all materials have positive/negative qualities but people who don’t trust this rope should probably be learning more before climbing at all. This is the same material step assisters are made from btw. It’s not a rope for all purposes, but it’s excellent for specific applications. The tag end is nicely wrapped and should stay in excellent condition for a long time.The carabiner is great. 25kN under standard proper end loading is more than enough and I’d bet the real-life failure load is several kN higher. It’s a manual threaded lock mechanism which is great but you do have to remember to thread it all the way every time for it to work as expected and at full strength, carabiner lock mechanism preferences are personal and mine have changed a couple times. Different carabiners make sense at different points in ones system. This carabiner is lightweight aluminum which is nice. The carabiner also has no hook that will snag anything, which is great.You girth hitch the loop on your weak arm side so you’re operating the carabiner with your strong hand which gets clipped through you out opposite loop. The tag end dangles which is why it has the stop knot tied in it to prevent it being able to ever pull through the prusick hitch. Ignore the product listing text that says to connect both end of the rope AND the carabiner for use. The product pictures show the correct setup however.I’ve found the best time to adjust these bridges is when they’re brand new and then I don’t adjust mine generally speaking. But once you use this several times it will probably lock into position pretty tightly.I like that this is a shorter bridge which is required for my DRT / MRS rope climbing methods to keep my main hitch and tender accessible at arms length. Use caution on your first sit to make sure this bridge doesn’t slip enough to lose your reach-access to disengage your ascent setup.The only MODIFICATION I’m doing to this is taking it from the standard 6 loop prusick to an 8 loop. That’s just something I do on my linesman ropes so that they’re more easily one hand adjustable. I don’t expect to make much functional difference here, but it will reduce the length of line between the carabiner and the hitch which is essentially just wasted length and a shorter lead requires less leverage to adjust in some instances, but I’m not sure how relevant that will be on a bridge connection. I just like things compact. My pictures show both forms.This bridge is made of high quality rope and has a high quality carabiner so I think the cost/value is about right for this.I’ve gotten several items from this brand over this last year and am perfectly comfortable using any/all of them as intended. This is a very good economy-minded brand and I’ve yet to encounter any type of poor manufacturing or cutting corners on anything I’ve got from them.This is an excellent replacement or redundant bridge and I absolutely recommend it for its materials, quality assembly and convenience. It looks exactly like the product images.I don't see how this is a reflective bridge - I got the black variant and it's not like it glows or anything. Thank goodness I have no wish for additional reflectivity and don't see the value outside of very specific instances, but to each their own. I wouldn't let that scare you away I guess is what I'm saying. When it's dark and I shine a light on it I can see it but it's not like it shines.This is a five star bridge with a 3 star product description. This is not a lineman’s rope or a lifeline as common usage of those terms would be defined. I’m sure those words are listed for SEO seeding and while that’s fine for a lot of products I don’t think it has any place in climbing related equipment and is not helpful to less-informed customers.If you use sticks to climb and prefer a very long bridge this may not be the best option for you. If you’re considering using ropes to ascend or use a medium or short bridge this is a fantastic choice.

Great quality and very sturdy. This holds up to 350 lbs and is easy to use and makes me feel safer climbing. Good value for hunting.

A great addition to any hunting setup. It’s lightweight but strong, and the reflective material makes it easy to spot in low light. The 350 lb rating gives plenty of confidence in safety, and the adjustable length is really convenient. Overall, a durable, reliable rope for anyone using a tree saddle.

I would not trust this as a climbing rope, made of cheap nylon, looks like a ski rope

Let's start at the beginning. I trust my enemies more than this rope. I wouldn't use it for a dog leash. It's really the same material. It can not be used as a tether. Unless you climb saplings, it will not fit around anything. As a bridge, lol. Not even. It doesn't grab, it slides. Metal eyelets??? Where??!! I am not joking!!! Do Not use this!! I value life and am calling it a loss!! For what i paid it is a joke and even the carabiner is questionable!!

Taking it out of the package, I already knew it was going back. The rope felt super cheap almost like it was a Halloween prop or a toy for a kid. Just from being twisted up in the packaging it had already begun to fray apart in two different spots. DEFINITELY would not trust this with my life.

The prussic knot does not bite like it should, no matter how well I dress the knot. Making the bridge not adjustable. I'll be adding an ascending device to the bridge.

Works good but thought it would be a little longer. But looks just like the picture.
