The term "karmantel" comes from the German kernmantel , which means "core and sheath". This name describes the unique construction of the rope, namely the core (core) that serves as the main load bearer, as well as the outer layer (mantle) that protects the core from friction, abrasion, and damage. This concept began to be developed in Europe in the early 20th century as a refinement of traditional ropes that previously still had many weaknesses in terms of strength and durability. The development of carmantel ropes accelerated after World War II, where the need for strong, lightweight, and reliable equipment became of great importance, especially for military, evacuation, and rescue purposes. This is where modern rope technology began to experience significant progress with the use of synthetic materials such as nylon or polyamide whi...
