Manufacturer's Description:
Besides being one of the lightest half ropes on the market, Petzl’s Dragonfly is also super durable, with over a third of its fiber content in the sheath. Perfect for ice and alpine climbing, mountaineering and wandering rock routes.

All Petzl rope sheaths make up at least 33% of the total weight of the rope, translating into superior core protection. Combined with a DuraTec dry treatment, Petzl ropes can withstand the abuse of rough granite and abrasive sandstone for countless pitches. All Petzl ropes are ready to use straight out of the package thanks to the special factory butterfly coil. To help prevent lowering and rappelling accidents, Petzl ropes are marked 6 meters from each end to alert climbers that the rope end is approaching. In addition, the middle of each cord is marked to facilitate safer descents.

From Backcountry.com:
"Petzl made the Dragonfly 8.2mm Climbing Rope with 36% of the material in the sheath to give it the durability to handle demanding ice and alpine climbs around the world. This Petzl rope also uses single-pick construction to create a tight sheath that holds out dirt and grime to protect the core. Using two Dragonfly 8.2mm Climbing Ropes together in double-rope technique reduces rope drag and provides a redundant system to improve your margin of safety. Petzl added a dry treatment to both the sheath and core to keep this rope from getting wet in the harsh mountain environment. *Sold individually."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"One of the lightest half ropes on the market, the Petzl Dragonfly Climbing Rope has 36% of its material in the sheath to give it the durability to stand up to the demands of ice and alpine climbs. This rope uses a single-pick construction to create a tight sheath that keeps out dirt and protect the core. An added dry treatment to the sheath and core keeps this rope from adding water weight in varied mountain environments. A center mark makes for quick half roping and easy management. Ideal for double-rope technique, rope drag is reduced and the margin of safety is increased when using the Drangonfly on a wandering alpine route."
