Nerex2

[TreeStuff]

Has anyone tried/seen Nerex2 yet?

Nerex is New England's version of Tenex. Nerex was recently redesigned (hence the 2 after it).

Just curious how this new incarnation stacks up to Tenex...

is this like a version of amsteel?

I'll bet it's a '2 carrier' version of Nerex.
If it is, it has 2 carriers instead of Nerex's 1 carrier. Like 'tenex' and 'tenex tech'.

Just a thought!

I haven't heard of it. It's not on New England's site either. Here is a link to the first generation Nerex.

Good call, Norm. That's exactly what it is according to NER.

We are going to make a few slings with it and see how it fares in comparison.

Whats the smallest size they make it in? Looks a little stronger than Tenex-tec. Where can you find it?

 

[TreeStuff]

Not sure anyone is selling it at this point, but I don't know. Tenex has a monopoly.

I prefer Yalex. Too bad it's not as readily available for the average tree guy.

Personally I think all three of these ropes are woven too loosely for treework. They are woven more for breaking strength. I prefer durability.

I like Yalex better too, it's softer. I know it's not rated for heat like aramids and it wears fast but it sure does make a sweet Blakes or Michoacan hitch.

I use it for making loopies.
