Excellent for primary or personal search lines to shine in the worst possible conditions.

A uniquely visible, compact search line designed—to be easily deployed and easily seen…but not easily destroyed. Sterling developed this compact, 7.5mm search line with input from the FDNY, specifically to meet the extreme conditions encountered in urban firefighting and search operations. Soft-but-abrasion-resistant nylon yarns and kernmantle braided construction make SearchLite supple and easy to knot, yet extremely durable. With its high-visibility reflective sheath and heat-resisting Technora fibers in the core, SearchLite is rapidly becoming the new standard in search cord for operations that go far beyond urban environments.

• Unique, compact 7.5mm cord is easy to carry and deploy
• Reflective properties in the sheath and heat resisting fibers in the core
• Highly-visible orange and yellow braided nylon is easily seen but not easily destroyed
• Available in: 40', 50', 150', 200', 220', 300' and 600' lengths

An excellent balance of all-temperature strength, abrasion resistance, and handling. Search lines have emerged as an important tool for fire and rescue operations of all sorts. Sterling utilizes aramid fibers, such as Technora, in unique constructions to achieve the optimum handling, heat resistance, and strength required for these critical operations—or even firefighter or self-rescue if necessary. All Sterling ropes are designed with a tougher sheath and better elongation in the core to absorb impact forces or maintain continuity under extreme heat. And they’re thoroughly tested to assure performance. It's no wonder Sterling ropes are preferred by top fire and safety instructors—not only in New York City, but around the globe.
