For the price it’s an awesome rope. construction is correct for a kermantle style rope , and I saw a test online it broke at 32kn as advertised I use it as a tree climbing rope and have no doubts about it keeping me safe. it did have considerable jacket milk which needed to be milked at its entirely length and cut off . Once milked with a fiction hitch along the entire length I ended up with approximately 4 feet of jacket which was separate from the core. cut it off and ropes been good to go! Feels like a really quality rope , pretty stiff but knots well even after milking .
