IMAGE Kevlar Cord 196ft UHMWPE Braided Throw Line – 1.8mm, 660LB, Low Stretch, Spliceable Arborist Rope (Green)

Overview

Meet IMAGE's throw line crafted from 100% UHMWPE fibers. This 1.8mm braided line balances feather-light handling with impressive strength, offering roughly 660 lbs (300 kg) of tensile capacity in a compact footprint across 196 feet. It’s designed as a precise throw line for arborists, but it also shines in hammock suspension, tarp and tent setup, and general outdoor rigging.

Why this line stands out

With minimal stretch, it maintains stable tension for accurate throws, steady anchor work, and predictable line behavior even under load. The hollow weave gives a smooth surface that resists snagging, helping you deploy and retrieve quickly in challenging branches or cluttered campsites.

• 660 lb tensile strength from UHMWPE fibers
• 1.8 mm diameter keeps weight down for long throws
• Low stretch minimizes bounce and sway
• Abrasion, UV, and weather resistant for harsh environments

Spliceable and user-friendly

The hollow braid is spliceable, enabling quick loops, whoopie slings, and simple soft shackles. The surface stays relatively tangle-free, so you can slide it over branches and obstacles with less friction, improving deployment efficiency.

• Spliceable hollow braid for custom setups
• Tangle-free handling for smooth deployment
• Floatable and tree-friendly design protects bark

Versatility in the field

Beyond arborist tasks, this line supports hammock suspension, tarp and tent rigs, camping setups, and water-based use thanks to its buoyancy. Whether you’re stringing a hammock between two trees or anchoring a tarp shelter, you’ll appreciate a line that behaves consistently under varied conditions.

In everyday use, expect reliable performance: a compact cord that travels light, resists the elements, and offers options for customization. While results will vary with technique and conditions, the rope’s properties open possibilities for safer, efficient line work and creative outdoor setups.
