A really cool thing about Atlas is that the accent colors are done in a way that the rope looks like a slightly different color depending on which way you are looking at the rope. This makes it so when the rope is running through a block, the "up" side will look slightly orange and the "down" side will look slightly green. This makes it really easy to know which side is yours and which is the groundies'. It's a tiny detail but I'm certain it was intentional and a very clever bit of engineering that I haven't heard appreciated by anyone else.

I did not know that, I’ll have to look at that next time we have some set up.

Sirius has a “spiral” pattern that is supposed to appear straight if you overload it, I’ve never seen it straighten, but we try not to overload our lines.
 
I’m a big fan of Samson’s stable braid series. The 9/16” is my go to size. It can handle any limbs you throw at it and it can roll right into small and medium sized wood. I’ll switch to 3/4” when I’m a little closer to the ground
