Atlantic Braids

[huskyarb]

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with rope from Atlantic Braids? They are responsible for All Gear's Cherry Bomb, Rocket Line, Blue Crazy, Neolite, Safety Lite and the Husky Bull Rope.
I've been looking into them and I don't understand why they don't seem to get any credit for manufacturing. Most of the products listed above are even listed in the latest Arb Climber Mag as being manufactured in America by All Gear, when in fact they are made in Canada by Atlantic Braids.
I may just be another proud Canuck but I really want to start repping Atlantic Braids more often.

Interesting. Anywhere to buy modest lengths to try out?

I think All Gear is the American distributor while here in Canada there are only a few resellers of the arb products. When I first started splicing I went to their manufacturing plant and bought a bunch of different rope ends to practice on. They had a shelf full of ends which they sold by the pound.

Security Landry in Montreal and Shepherds in Ontario carry their ropes.

Knot and rope sells all gear by the foot

I wasn't a huge fan of the cherry bomb it glazed too easy but that was on ddrt might be good for srt. As for rigging lines I am using their 12 strand 1/2"forestry pro for my light rigging and their husky lines for heavier stuff. I really like both of those ropes. I use the 5/8" husky quite a bit and have not had any trouble. I will continue to buy them for my rigging lines. The price is right and they wear nice and are every bit as strong as some of the others out there.
