6mm cordage of choice?

[Viking]

6mm whats your fav? I'm mainly talking about use as mini/lanyard prusiks, on rope from 10mm (bee-line, ocean)up to 11-11.7mm (velocity,tachyon, PI, ETC).

I have time on my hands and want to do some tinkering, just need to get some ideas on what to order before April.

BTW, it will eventually get a nice warm, shiny hug from the new DMM thimble!

We use the Tech Cord. No complaints at all.

I prefer the globe its a little thicker than the tech cord and seems to be less rigid.

Tech cord all the way, I dont know if anyone even sells globe in the states. The 5mm tech cord is what I float on my ultratech lanyard, works fantastic. I have a hank in my spares tote in the garage, always a useful product.

If you want to think out of the box, try a webbing sling like this: http://www.sterlingrope.com/product/243136/WB127DYSL/_/Dyneema_Sewn_Slings

This is the best product I've found for the link to clip into on my lanyard. New Englands 'Tech Cord' wouldn't "cinch" on my 7/16's" KM3, it would 'float' and drive me crazy. Tech cord is a great product, but not for that application. Like Jimmy said, it's too 'stiff' for a 7/16's" lanyard. It'll probably work better on 1/2" diameter line, if that's your choice.
The 10" webbing loop is sewn (no knots), I can get a 3 wrap, 6 coil prusik on the 7/16's" diameter, and it sticks in one spot. It's also easily adjusted. Just keep in mind it's "Dyneema", which has a very low melting point, but as a lanyard clip in point, it doesn't slide fast, so no worries.
