Petzl Protec Rope Protector

The Petzl Protec is designed to protect your rope when it's running over an edge, especially when you're abseiling or top roping - a velcro sheath which wraps around the rope and keeps it safe from sharp edges. Realistically most ropes are fantastically wear resistant, but there's more to this device. It definitely keeps the rope safe and extends its life but the rubberised bottom is brilliant for keeping the rope in place, stopping it from wandering and prevents it getting jammed in cracks and slots. I wonder how I did without it now and use it constantly.

Bought this for my son's birthday. Says its fantastic

Excellent. Makes abseiling down the steep loose, mixed ground of the Culm Coast a whole lot safer.

pretty good, does the job its meant for and cheap too. I only gave 4 stars as the metal clips attached to the protector dig into the rope, i use a 10.2mm static for abbing and had to turn the clip outward with a pliers to stop it digging into the rope but also so i could slide it up and down the rope easily as i leaned over the edge of the cliff. other than that its just what i needed and wanted.
