EDELWEISS 8.8MM SPIRIT UNICORE
EDELWEISS 8.8MM SPIRIT UNICORE
The Edelweiss Spirit 8.8 mm rope is the perfect tool to reach ambitious climbing goals. This thin single rope combines an ultralightweight and a thick/durable sheath. In fact, the rope is compact and strong, the best of 2 worlds. The Spirit range is the combination of classic braiding, waterproofing, and Unicore working together for optimal performance, and is also certified as a half rope to be used in all mountaineering activities. The Everdry version has a treatment applied to all fibers of the sheath to limit the consequences of humidity, rain, or ice on the rope. The heaviness and stiffening of the rope are substantially reduced by Everdry. The Supereverdry version has a treatment applied to both sheath and core to eliminate water absorption when you're climbing ice, and it adds abrasion resistance when you're climbing over rocky, sharp edges.

PROCESSES
UNICORE
An astonishing process, bonding the sheath and core without affecting the rope’s suppleness. If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and sheath remain bonded together. With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, the sheath can slide and gather along the rope length, creating a potentially dangerous situation. With the UNICORE process, the sheath remains in place and the rope intact and fully functional.
TREATMENTS
EVERDRY
The sheath yarns of Everdry ropes are impregnated with Edelweiss' superior water resistant treatment. An Everdry rope is lighter in wet conditions, dries quicker, and doesn't stiffen in freezing temperatures. The treatment lengthens the life of the rope considerably with its abrasion resistant properties.
SUPEREVERDRY
Edelweiss was the first climbing rope manufacturer to apply a Supereverdry treatment to all fibers in the core and sheath. A Supereverdry treated rope barely absorbs any water in wet conditions, dries quicker, and doesn't stiffen up in freezing temperatures. Comparative tests demonstrate the superiority of this treatment over competing methods of other manufacturers with respect to durability of the treatment as well as efficiency.
Supereverdry treated ropes exceed the new UIAA WATER REPELLENT standard.
UIAA WATER REPELLENT
To succeed in this testing performed in a certified laboratory, the rope must absorb less than 5% of its weight after exposure to a severe water flow for 15 minutes. The results obtained by the Supereverdry treated ropes are 0.8 to 1.4% (average 1.1%) compared to the 40-50% absorbed by the non-treated ropes.
