New Gear?

What's the best line and handle setup out there for the money?

Also, what about jackets? Any favorites out there? Cheers!

PM SPBFan for Proline handles and ropes. If you can wait for the 2010 stuff, the handle will float better from what I understand.

I like the side entry Hyperlite http://www.hyperlite.com/product/124914/9275/_/Side_Entry

CWB jackets are very comfy, I'll second the Proline recommendation

best bang for your buck? www.bulletlines.com I bought 2 lines because I thought they were too inexpensive, and thus cheap. The 2nd is still in the original zip ties. I've had them both for nearly 3 yrs.

I used the Bullet Lines rope for a year also. However, I found that the plastic shield around the rope easily tore and the handle gave out. However, the handle did take a lot of abuse IMO. But the plastic around the rope was not the best that there is on the market.

Remember, you get what you pay for. :02:

Maybe I should clarify (Pizza and Pitchers of beer last night). I bought the 2nd one as a backup, in case the 1st one crapped out.I have not needed it, because the quality has been just fine. No issues with the line.
