Been here a while
Hey all, I’m excited to announce that my new business, 3Strand Design is up and running! Our first product, the Reactor Pack is now ready to order.
I spent the last three years prototyping a rope pack that can handle the rigors of crane work while being better designed for the actual work. More streamlined for carrying and throwing, no drawstrings to snag on everything, and faster to repack. It also needed to hold 200’ of most doublebraid climb lines.
After several iterations the Reactor fulfills all of those requirements. We’ve been unable to bust any of the packs that have been in testing for two years (and I enjoy durability testing). We’ve thrown them through crowded crowns without snagging or dumping. Some guys are storing over 220’ of line, depending on the diameter. I personally fit 230’ of 11.7 in one of mine.
Another feature that I didn’t know would be so important at this time when I started is it’s made in the US. That makes it a little pricier than other options at the moment, but it also means I know the names and faces of the people who are impacted by my sales.
While originally designed for crane work, the Reactor is now my go-to pack for climb lines. The more I use other bags in my kit, the more I want to replace them all.
We will be launching more packs and other gear in the future, so please check us out. One collaboration I’m pumped about is an upcoming launch from CMI. We worked together on a piece of hardware that I think many will find useful. Any feedback is most welcome! I started 3Strand to make things that are better suited to our needs, so let me know what works or doesn’t work for you.
