        Comments about PMI E-Z Bend Sport 11mm Static Rope:

        As far as the build quality of this rope, it withstands the roughest sandstone without fraying. I've used Sterling rope for rappelling over rough sandstone with fray marks up and down the rope. The PMI E-Z Bend rope on the other hand, not a fray mark on it. The only down side I have with this rope is that it tangles beyond belief. Extremely frustrating!!! Esspecially when your dealing with 250 feet plus of rope. I use a rope tarp and coil all my rope in these rope tarps for storage, but that doesn't seem to make a bit of difference with the tangling problam with this rope. Once it gets tangled badly, you can forget about getting the tangles completely out. I don't think I will be buying this rope again for this reason. I will stick with Sterling Static.

        sheath is way to fragile

              On the plus side, this rope takes knots better than other, BUT.... The sheath is very fragile. I've placed this in the same setup as my kid's Bluewater. The Bluewater comes out without a scratch, while the E-Z Bend is rather badly fuzzed-up.

              I will not be buying the same rope when it comes time for a replacement.

                Comments about PMI E-Z Bend Sport 11mm Static Rope:

                Since all my gear was stolen years ago and I've decided I needed to get in shape again I have been putting my gear all back together. I'm in no way rich so I've been searching for the best quality for my buck. It doesn't have to be the highest quality but it's also my life so I want good stuff. I finally discovered the gear at REI and went for it. Prices were perfect, free shipping. It came in 2 days...as if I paid for overnight. Heck I even checked my invoice to be sure. Customer for life...Oh...great rope too.

                  I've used this rope for over 20 years and I would not trust any other, unless it's a PMI for any of my outdoor activities, from climbing to rescue, mountaineering, caving, recreational rope access techniques.

                    I rappelled a waterfall three times and the rope was gone! Tissues are very soft and easily cut by a rock. Unsafe to use outside of climbing gyms

                      I used this rope for many tough rappels as well as the assents following. the rope did not fray except on the sharpest rocks (i should have protected it) and i really would have expected most roped to be cut by the rock, yet this one just frayed.. no big deal. this is one of the best static ropes i have used!

                          This is a great static rope, I have had it for 3 years now. I use this for rappelling. Its has stood up to all the rubbing on rock edges, and has been a really great asset. I plan on purchasing another one when the time comes. It is really easy to tie knots with which makes it a big plus.
