Optimised SOFTGRIP braid technology.

Drawing on experience in both mechanical and textile product design the new XTX Soft Grip Clutch uses a combination of new materials to offer mid load rope holding in a lightweight, compact device. Using an innovative new braided ‘soft grip’ technology to engage and hold a loaded line, the XTX benefits from being very ‘kind’ to the rope cover with a controlled and easy release.
