Here's what other sites are saying:

From RockCreek:
"BlueWater designs the 8.1mm Ice Floss twin rope exculsively for extreme alpine and ice climbing. This design is the ultimate in lightweight, compact ropes. Its smooth, tightly braided, single pick sheath reduces rope drag. Ice Floss is the choice of world renown climbers because of the usual BlueWater performance and quality characteristics.*There is a $5 extra shipping fee due to the extra cost of shipping a heavy package. Rock/Creek pays the remainder of the shipping fee which averages about $10 to most locations."

From REI:
"The ultimate in lightweight, compact ropes, Ice Floss is designed for optimum performance on extreme alpine and ice climbing ascents. Smooth, tightly braided sheath improves durability and reduces rope drag; 60-meter length is great for longer pitches. Lightweight design and reduced bulk allows easier transport; twin ropes are rated to handle more falls because both ropes share the load. Double Dry™ sheath and core treatment resists water absorption, so the rope remains lighter, stronger and easier to handle in wet conditions. Kernmantle construction from U.S.-manufactured premium-quality materials effectively absorbs falls; friction-reducing finish extends the rope life. Meets or exceeds UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation."
