Brait combines braiding technology with plaited ropemaking. Nylon Brait’s
most outstanding feature is high energy absorption which is 75% greater
than 3-strand rope and 85% greater than nylon double braid. Brait is
easily spliced and delivers 100% of the rope’s advertised strength.
Nylon Brait has unsurpassed energy absorption making it a natural for
lanyard work.
