Langman Ropes Hempex is a decent product, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. While it’s durable and lightweight, I found it to be a bit slippery compared to traditional hemp rope, which made knotting a bit tricky. It’s good for general use, but I wouldn’t recommend it for applications that require a lot of intricate tying.
