XLE-Z FEEL
Performer Series

Product Sheet (PDF)


XLE-Z Feel Performer Series is an extra low elongation, 100% Polyester double braid like our standard XLE but with an easy grip polyester yarn used on its cover and SeaGard polyester in its core. XLE-Z Feel boasts a higher strength than similar spun polyester braids while still providing an excellent feel, wet or dry. Recommended for running rigging applications that are frequently handled such as main sheets, jib sheets and control lines.
