Get a comfortable catch when you whip, even while lead rope soloing!

The Comfort Catch absorber is a stiff rubber link that stretches under load, giving a ramped impact that is much more comfortable than the spike of dynamic rope absorption alone. The eyelets clip into locking carabiners while still leaving space for a limiter sling.

Available in Compact (pairs with 60cm sling for 33cm [13 inches] of travel) or Plush (pairs with 90cm sling for 51cm [20 inches] of travel).

Painstakingly optimized through many geometry and material revisions, these rubber absorbers add off-the-shelf convenience to your LRS absorber assembly by matching standard length PPE limiter slings. We tried a dozen engineering rubber grades, chose the best-performing for both stretch and dampening, and optimized the shape for a minimal package. See the instructions link below for our recommended gear assembly. 

*0kN - Not PPE*

Non-structural absorber to be used in parallel to a PPE System. Not intended to reduce impact force on marginal anchors. 

Recommended Number of Absorbers by Climber Weight:
*The Absorbers are sold as individual links. Below is a very rough estimate for stiffness calibration, assuming falls near the anchor with minimal rope drag. Rope drag will quickly dominate in absorption effects, negating the need for perfect calibration*

Compact (60cm Sling) - Best for minimal adventures
-1 Absorber: scenarios with significant rope drag
-2 Absorbers: climber less than 160lb (73kg)
-3 Absorbers: climber greater than 160lb (73kg)

Plush (90cm Sling) - Best for daily crag usage
-1 Absorber: scenarios with significant rope drag
-2 Absorbers: climber less than 180lb (82kg)
-3 Absorbers: climber greater than 180lb (82kg)
