BLACK PolyDac CrossFit Battling Rope Every fitness rope that we make is handcrafted with vinyl handles on both ends, handles that stay put is very important to us. We have designed our handles to ensure that they don't slip off. Handles on the 1-1/2" rope are attached with a heavy duty adhesive and then sewn into place, the 2" rope handles are made from a thicker vinyl and use a very heavy-duty adhesive. We also include a 2' heavy duty nylon center friction guard to protect your rope from fray and increase its longevity. We are QUALITY. We have been in business as a manufacturer and distributor of rope for over 50 years for both Military and Marine applications. Products ship within 3-5 business days via UPS Ground
