XLS Extra

Samson XLS Extra was created for performance-oriented cruisers and for club racers wanting higher strength, very low stretch and lighter weight than can be achieved with a traditional polyester double braid.
It provides better performance at a better value than high-performance ropes.

Like competition grade running rigging, XLS Extra offers the smooth flexibility of a 24-strand braided polyester cover with a braided core made from a blend of MFP and Dyneema SK-75.
This blended core offers the strength and light weight of Dyneema fiber for performance, without the high price of a 100% Dyneema core.

XLS Extra is low stretch and makes an excellent wire halyard replacement.
Additionally, it may be used for all sheeting and control applications.

The 24-strand braided polyester cover design outperforms traditional 16, 20, or 32-strand covers for overall durability, flexibility and grip on winches and stoppers.

• Core: 8-strand braid/SK-75 Dyneema®/MFP Olefin blend/non-treated
• Splicing technique: core-dependent double braid splice
• Note that XLS Extra and XLS Extra-T are the same rope with different color patterns — XLS Extra is navy blue, with a choice of tracer colors, while Extra T is white with a choice of colored tracers (including a white tracer choice, for an all white rope)
• Sold by the foot
