    I bought a bunch of marlow excel pro 2mm line at one point. It is a sheathed line, so I left the core in on the ridgeline and for prussic lines I pulled the core out. Made just enough difference so the hitches stay put.

    Also used Kelty Triptease. Had some slip with prusiks. Changed to Klemheists with better results.

    What are you using for the prussik loops? I am using some cord that came with my Granite Gear backpacking tarp. Not sure what it is, but they call it "micro cordage" on their website. It is about 75% of the diameter of the Triptease. It bites into the Triptease so well, it is difficult to get it to release with 4 wraps. It works well with the dynaglide on my other ridgeline but doesn't bite nearly as much.

    This is it with the dynaglide.

    I am using loops of triptease on a triptease ridge line. With the klemheist knots it hold well in the direction of the pull, but easily releases and adjusts in the opposite direction.

    My ridgeline is BlueWater 3mm NiteLine.
    The prussik is Kelty Triptease. Haven't had any issues with slipping.
    Like scotty said earlier, I love the reflective feature of these two ropes.
