The Zephyr Rope by Petzl is 10.33mm in diameter offering additional friction in belay/rappel devices bringing more control with extra durability. This climbing rope was designed with Duratec dry treatment to help prevent the rope from absorbing water, making it easier to handle in cold, wet conditions. The core and sheath strands are individually treated, providing water repellency in case you find yourself on a melting ice chandelier or glacier, or if you decide to wear it as part of your Halloween costume and get pushed in the pool. All Petzl ropes are butterfly coiled in the factory so they’re ready to use straight from the package. It’s a Petzl rope, just tie in and start climbing.
SPECIFICATIONS of the Zephyr Rope by Petzl
The Petzl Zephyr Climbing Rope tackles the local top-rope crag, multi-pitch granite walls, and days of dogging your project with equal toughness. The Zephyr's 10.3mm diameter gives you extra friction and increased control, while its thick, durable sheath offers up a longer lifespan. Petzl also added a Duratec dry treatment to the sheath and core for enhanced protection against water absorption and freezing.

I like it | |
| Rating: |  |
The zephyr is my first rope, so emotionally I'm attached to it like a 7th grader is attached to their first crush. But logically and practically I see the flaws in it. The sheath is not that strong, and fuzzed in a couple spots my first time out. Also the super dynamic nature of the rope feels a bit odd at times as it will creep through your belay device when someone is hanging or it will feel bouncy on a rappel. But really I think these are nit-picky things when it comes down to it. Its a good rope that will see a good 2-3 years of beginner sport climbing use if treated well. | |

Great for what it is designed for | |

I have been climbing lightly on this for 2 years now, lead sport and occasional top roping. I treat ropes very gently. This rope has never sat in dirt and is coiled in a rope bag 99% of the time when part is touching the ground. I have only had to wash this rope once; it is in great condition. The dry coat really helps it repel dirt and keeps it easy to handle in rain and sleet when everyone with a brain is indoors. Lead falls on it still feel spongier than falls on my friend's 9.8 ropes when following. This rope does carry a slight weight penalty for its highly dynamic nature. While researching similar ropes the only one more dynamic was a beal rope, so this rope adsorbs falls really well, but will stretch accordingly far. The mid and 6-meter-from-end marks are great for rapelling. This would make a great first rope, not so great for leading harder climbs because of its weight. | |

Fantastic dry treatment and a joy to handle | |
| Rating: |  |
| I have the blue 60m version of this rope. I used this rope at the Ouray Ice Park. This rope ran over icy ledges (top belaying), sat in snow for hours, and even fell in the ice cold river for a few minutes. The dry treatment worked beautifully! Less than 20 minutes after the rope fell in the water it was dry again! This rope handles very well, but does have some heft to it (not very surprising for 60 meters of 10.3mm rope). I only fell once on this rope (top rope setup), and the stretch was not too much and not too little. I cannot wait to use this rope more. Probably some of the best money I have spent so far on climbing gear. | |

Nice Single Rope | |
| Rating: | |
The mid markings and the warning markings on each end makes this rope really nice and convienent. I have the 60m length. It is a bit heavy but seems quite durable. The dynamic properties of the rope are very apparent when you rapelle down from any cliffs. I haven't had to use the dynamic properties due to a slip or fall as we still top rope when we climb. | |

Yet Again, Petzl Owns | |
| Rating: | |
| Couple this rope with a Petzl Grigri Belay Device and you're well-equipped to tackle most any sport and top rope line. It does have a little bit of weight to it, but then again it is 10.3 millimeters. The factory butterfly coil eliminates kinks. DO yourself a favor and learn how to store this in a butterfly coil after you get it. | |

my first rope. after climbing on other people's ropes, i had an idea of how i would liek it to feel and this one has been amazing. it is very light and springy, doesn't feel like i'm packing a cable. it has been holding up great and shows not even the slightest bit of wear | |

Very satisfied, good rope! | |

| Great all around rope for sport, bouldering and even some trad. Not too stiff or slick and easy to tie. Haven't taken any major whippers on it yet but would feel safe if I did. The markers on the blue rope are a little hard to see, but very easy to spot on the red. | |

A killer rope for the price | |
| Rating: | |
| The Zephyr has been a great rope so far! At a 10.3 you know its crazy abrasion resistant! And with the dry coating you can bet it won't suck up all the rain that just swept over while you where out crimping. Just buy it...you know you want to! | |

Great rope. Great price. | |

| This is my perfered rope of choice. Its got a good fall rating and it holds up well. I use it for sport climbing and occasional trad climbing. I don't have to replace it that often either so that's a key factor. | |

The best rope. | |

| Truly the MASTER ROPE, Ive just had it and its beautiful, ultra resistant and the middle marker is great to divide the rope at the top o a sports route. | |

This rope is a piece of junk. The sheath fuzzed up the first few times out, and now it picks up dirt and is a pain to belay with. | |

Good rope, but I'm sure there are better | |
| Rating: |  |
I bought this rope over a year ago, my first rope. As a first rope it has been fabulous; we've taken it to dozens of crags, it has run through the belay devices of a small army of people, it has saved my life and the lives of my friends many, many times. | |

Good rope, but very annoying | |
| Rating: | |
| This rope must take a while to break in. There are line markers on the rope that have a different texture than the rest of the rope. This is a pain in the ass when belaying with a grigri, because the rope gets stuck and is difficult to move through the line marker spots. This rope is also pretty wiry. I have to remember to give myself an extra few inches when I tie in, or the rope will try to break free from my knot. I often have to make 3 loops at the end. I'm sure all of this will clear up after it gets a lot more use, but in the meantime, it's annoying and slightly dangerous. The line markers seem to always strike right at the first or second clip. | |
