Customer video review of Rip-Strip Rope Protector

I like this rope protector it helps when there is an edge that is vertical so you can’t lay a towel or something on it and it stays put so the rope doesn’t get frayed.

Bought these for top rop solo, but took them out on a lead trad rope solo climb. Worked well to protect my anchor for any abrasion from the tree.

Customer photo review of "Rip Strip" Rope Protector

I’m new to climbing and finding a climbing partner has been the hardest thing about it! So the TRS kit, and vids have opened the door to climbing when I want to and not be limited to only climb when I can find a partner. Im still learning but always improving; I practice placing gear and clipping in with a secondary rope to increase my confidence on gear placement for trad climbing…. Not ready for LRS yet but that will come later

Customer photo review of "Rip Strip" Rope Protector

10/10 stars!! 🤩 This rope protector is so easy to use and highly durable. It stays in place even when the rope moves left and right repeatedly, yet still has a convenient, ninja-fast removal function to avoid interrupting your send. 🥷 🧗🏼‍♀️

Customer photo review of "Rip Strip" Rope Protector

K. This will probably be my last post to purchase. I’m looking to get 10% off because once again, I NEED one more Flex Link and I think it’s prudent to have a second if not a third Rip Strip. Can’t thank Brent enough. This stuff carries its weight in gold.

Bought three of them and i need them for many routes in my area

Rip-Strip Rope Protector

I love how low profile and easy to carry this rope protector is. The way it attaches to the rope is cool too!

Rip-Strip Rope Protector

Beats all other rope protectors in that you can get it out of the way one-handed as you top out on that cliff or parapet.

Rip-Strip Rope Protector

Way better then what I had. I was using a 3' section off garden house that was split down the middle and had America on one end and a carabiner on the other. I know heavy but it worked. This is so much nicer!

Rip-Strip Rope Protector

Simple and effective. Thanks for the passion for solo climbing.

Rip-Strip Rope Protector

It’s great with a lot of thoughts for the details. I use it a lot in the palatina forest where we have really loose sandstone which is a killer for ropes. I was searching a lot for a easy to use rope protection. With this one I am super happy. Thanks :) also cool the you are sending it all over to nowhere in German ;)

"Rip Strip" Rope Protector

It works exactly as advertised. I was worried that the one-handed removal would be difficult, or the setup knee and I was blown away by how straightforward and simple it was to use. Perfect for route development, and top rope soloing.
