The rope arrived quickly and well packaged. It did have a bit of a smell to it when I took it out of the box, but I hung it in a tree in the backyard and by day 2 the smell was gone. There was a decent amount of shedding on the first 5-10 climbs but since then its pretty minimal (I primarily use it outside so its a bit hard to tell, but there isn't a bunch all over me like the first couple climbs). The heavy duty loop makes hanging it and taking it down (if you need to) a breeze and you can rest assured it is secured. A great price for a rope of this length and apparent strength.
I did contact customer service because my tracking number was not showing any information, and they quickly responded even on a weekend so I have no doubt they would take care of you should there be any issues.
Have bought from AF before and will again in the future. Thanks!
