Yep quite informative.
Now the big question is: Why does the durability of chickenloop lines still suck as?
I wax mine regulary, but after 3 months of use it already looks like cr@p.
Can't be that hard to come up with a better solution..

There is. Cabrinha use a hard plastic tube over the line. It never wears.

@Gorgo:
I use below the bar depower, so the line needs to be compatible with that..

Very interesting. Guessing 'up' is in reference to one of the distributors shown st the start of the vid ? :)

Now I know why my lines are so expensive to replace!

Good point on the chickenloop line, I'm going to try waxing it, does that affect the belw the line deposed cleat grabbing the rope?

I'm not related to UP paragliders or Sup Air harnesses.

Just a user not a distributor
