Constructions and colours
Rope’s protective cover can be manufactured with different construction methods and fibers.
The exclusive Armare Color System allows a wide customization of the colors mix, in order to obtain ropes which are both aesthetically beautiful and easily to be distinguished from each other, according to the specific running rigging.
Ropes, especially the technical ones, can be single braid or double braid. In the “single braid” construction the fiber (typically Dyneema®) is left without cover.
In the “double braid” construction, the fiber is protected by a second layer (the cover) with protective functions, but also to make the rope more manageable and with a better grip.
The color, or mix of colors of the sock can be chosen among the many available, following the indications on the composition, by taking into consideration the type of construction and the fiber
Single braid
Some ropes, like Vec-Tec and Dyneforce have a single braid construction. They are very easy to splice.
Double braid
This is the most widely used type of construction, with an internal braided core and a protective outer braid. They are medium-difficult to splice.

Technical fibers have their own predefined natural color and it cannot be changed.
