Not the best quality. Frayed

Rope frayed in 3 different places on a 75ft rope, it came like this, used once, don't know if that makes it worse or not, shouldn't be frayed at all

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There are problems

Good rope for the price

Like different lengths. Works well when switching from a tuner to a wakeboard. I would like the overall diameter of the cable to be larger. Feel free to pull more than one person, maybe 2 people per smaller tube.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Unsafe

Worked great at first, then the handle started falling apart

We live in Pennsylvania so the water ski season is short, the handle on this rope started falling apart towards the end of summer. Disappointed as my son really liked the feel of it initially. He definitely looked tougher when he worked.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Doubt

The handle does not float.

The rope is fairly standard with the added convenience of clearly marked lengths. However, the handle sinks and takes the rope with it. not very convenient for kids learning water sports. He got under our feet, luckily we caught that before we took the slack.

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • No

Strong enough to act as a rescue rope

Haven't used it for skiing yet but used it twice to tie down and then no kidding rescued 2 boats with this rope. One guy told me his 5,300 pound boat pulled him to the dock at 5 mph against the current. This rope is strong enough and I can't wait to use it for skiing next time. I got good karma points first.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Absolutely cheap rope!

The product was great the first 3 times. I was about to order another one just in case and noticed the rope strands fraying and snapping. The rope has completely deteriorated and I keep it indoors, away from UV rays. I had to buy another brand of rope as a replacement and found that it was about twice the thickness of the airhead rope. My ski friends were definitely shocked at how cheap this rope was. It's obviously a bad Chinese fake.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some little things

Cheap rope/good grip

I bought this hoping the negative reviews were wrong. To my disappointment, they weren't. Falling apart in the middle after 3 days of use. It's just a division. As another reviewer said, the grip is good but the rope is flimsy and not strong. Of course, the return window has closed, so I'm stuck with a pretty pen attached to a string I can't use. Thank you Revain for giving too short a return window for a product that is not used every day. I will not order any Revain product for occasional…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Update available

I really liked the curved handle with the large diameter (1.125 inch OD) drawbar. Although I didn't use the 70ft cut rope (it's too flimsy), I really liked the 5ft elastic rope. a rope with a handle as it seemed to reduce shock loads from sagging balls in turns. Without a doubt, this was the most comfortable setup for my elbows I've ever had. but my friend bought one and really liked the grip so i gave it a try.unfortunately the grip worked when i hooked after 2 balls yesterday. It seems…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons

Cheap or faulty grip

I bought this rope from Revain in May early in the season so I haven't been able to use it much due to the weather. for skiing. Towards the end of June, when we were only using the rope for the third time, the handle broke when we were pulling the skier out of the water. Unfortunately, the return period for Revain Prime items has already expired. So I haven't had any luck with returns or exchanges. I give it a 2 because the quality of the rope and the ease of changing the length of the rope was

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
