Paratrooper "Let Down" Rope

These ropes are the most historically accurate reproductions we could make. These ropes are custom woven for us by a company here in the United States with 100% natural cotton material to match the thickness and braid of the original ropes issued to paratroopers for Normandy.

The ropes being issued to paratroopers for D-Day were much thinner than nearly all other reproductions being sold.  The ropes were so thin that paratroopers who used them on D-Day made note of how difficult they were to grip, even with gloves.  With this information the Army requisitioned rope that was almost twice as thick for future airborne operations, including Market Garden only a few months later. 

This rope is manufactured in the USA
