EYE TO EYE - TACTICAL ACCESS 8MM
The Tactical Access 8mm Eye to Eye is a lightweight and durable friction hitch cord designed for arborist climbing systems, offering excellent strength, abrasion resistance and heat resistance.
Tactical Access offers a different combination of characteristics: a firm yet supple feel, a 32-plait Technora®/polyester cover, high heat resistance and an exceptionally strong HMPE core in a compact 8 mm construction.
Ultimately, choosing a hitch cord comes down to personal preference, your rope, your hitch and the way you like your system to feel and perform. Tactical Access is simply another high-performance option for climbers looking for a particular combination of feel, strength and heat resistance.
1. 32-Plait Cover — Firm Yet Supple
The 32-plait Technora®/polyester cover gives the cord a firmer, more structured feel while still maintaining the suppleness needed for tying, dressing and handling a hitch. It’s a great choice for climbers who prefer a cord that doesn’t feel overly soft or floppy.
2. HMPE Core — Serious Strength in 8 mm
The high-strength HMPE core gives Tactical Access an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. At 8 mm, it offers substantial strength without needing the additional diameter or bulk of a larger cord.
3. Technora® Cover — High Heat Resistance
The Technora® in the cover provides excellent resistance to heat, making Tactical Access well suited to applications where friction can generate significant heat. It adds another layer of durability to a cord designed for demanding use.
