5m Cow's Tail Lanyard
Rope-worker favourite! In this design the dynamic rope and the figure 8 knot act as an energy absorber, keeping fall forces to a minimum.
Research has show than cow's tails using dynamic rope; even though there is only 3 meters of rope in the construction, absorb more energy than just static rope, and the figure 8 knot absorbs a lot of energy as it gets tightened in a fall.
Made from 11mm Dynamic rope as per IRATA requirements.
The lanyards can be lengthened or shortened by simply adjusting knot(s). The overall length is 3mts, giving several useful lanyard lengths/configurations:
- If using a single central Figure 8 knot you can get 2 legs approximately 1.15 metres each, or any combination of long/short.
- If using two Figure 8 knots (as pictured, and our recommended option) you get 2 legs approximately 80cm each, and a central "U"
or any combination - the greater the rope between the knots, the shorter you can get your lanyards.
