5/16" Control-DPX - Clear (9,300 lb)

Control-DPX™ combines Dyneema® fiber and Samson's patented DPX™ technology into a strong, lightweight line that is winch and cleat friendly, while being incredibly easy on the hands.
DPX™ adds the grip and "soft-hand" feel of spun polyester to the lightweight strength of Dyneema fiber. The result is an easily spliced, 12-strand single braid that performs better on winches than other single braids, while retaining the great "feel" you want in a mainsheet or guy.

• Easy to handle
• Easy to splice
• High strength
• Lightweight
• Low stretch
• Runs through blocks without kinking
• Solid grip on winch drums


Heavy on the technical side...
