3mm vision best for outdoor activities

I've used up my 100ft of 3mm Dyneems. To me this is a cross between Amsteel SK78 and Marlow Ropes SK99. Closer to the original SK90 which IMO was chipping and turning light gray but to a much lesser extent than this line. This is my only criticism as it otherwise behaves like a heat set Dyneema (which is NOT as soft as the stock Amsteel SK78). It has held up well everywhere I've used it. It's not my first choice for soft shackles or above deck use due to the shedding propensity, but it's still a quality line. FYI, raw Dyneema is not designed for use in sailboat cleats, so if you want that please learn a little about gear.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
