Availability: Our Reflective Ironwire is sold out. There is uncertainty when we will get more so we have closed orders, but quite likely we will receive more in early April and will be able to open orders then with it in stock.
_____________________________
For the gear geeks who want the best, our Reflective Ironwire is the most durable and lowest stretch reflective guyline available, making it the highest performance guyline for your tent.

This line has a pure Dyneema® core which gives a breaking strength of 650 lbs – remarkable for a 2.0 mm line. While other Dyneema® core lines exist, ours goes a step further and also weaves Dyneema® into the sheath for unparalleled abrasion resistance. A pure Dyneema® sheath is too slick to hold knots well and wouldn’t melt nicely to finish the ends, so our sheath uses a blend of Dyneema® and polyester for the ideal balance between durability and feel.

The Dyneema® and tight weave also make this line ultra low stretch, which reduces deflection in stormy conditions. Regular lines commonly stretch about 10% which allows your tent to deflect under high winds and snow loads. This line only has about 1% stretch, which largely eliminates that for a more resolute shelter in harsh weather. We recommend this line as upgrade when camping where high winds or snow loads are a factor.

Reflective Ironwire line is built in the USA by Lawson Equipment. It is equivalent to their Ironwire cord, except we have added a 3M Scotchlite Reflective reflective tracer for night time visibility – key for a tent application.

We offer this line in 2.0 mm size, which works well with all versions of our X-Mid tents and numerous other shelters. Please note that the tight weave and low stretch materials means that this cord does not stretch thinner under load like most cords, so it performs well in cord tensioners that usually require 2.5 mm.
