Double Braid Nylon is manufactured just like it sounds. There is a tightly woven jacket that is wrapped around a loosely braided core. This double braid helps the rope is a variety of ways. It is much stronger than just a twisted nylon due to the number of fibers it is made from. Also the outer shell protects the rope from abrasion while giving it very smooth feel. Much like solid braid nylon it is very flexible and pliable but unlike solid braid it can be spliced. Many utility contractors like this rope because it is great for pulling cable through conduit. Double braid nylon absorbs shock loads very well and is resistant to rot, which also makes it perfect for towing.
