A soft, flowy rope designed for gentle movement, mobility, and mindfulness. Its smooth feel and forgiving weight make it the perfect choice for staying active, flexible, and engaged without too much stress on the joints.

Each Upcycled Rope begins as retired search and rescue rope that can no longer remain in service, despite often having years of life left. They are purchased at a fair price, meaning your support directly helps fund and sustain these vital organizations.

These ropes are still in great shape, but retired for safety reasons - maybe they’ve reached their shelf life (even if never used), were used in a high-tension rescue, or were cut too short for field use.

Every rope is individually inspected, meticulously cleaned, thoroughly dried, and hand-finished to restore its performance while helping keep quality materials out of landfills - a process that requires significantly more time and attention than producing a rope from new materials.

The result is a high-quality flow rope that gives retired search and rescue rope a meaningful second life. By choosing upcycled materials, you're helping reduce waste, extend the lifespan of valuable equipment, and support a more thoughtful approach to manufacturing - all while giving back to the local search and rescue community that made it possible.

Soft Enough to Forgive You. Heavy Enough to Teach You.

When you're learning rope flow, you want two things.

  1. Easy and forgiving...
  2. But also gives you enough feedback to actually learn.

Those two don't always go together.

  • Too light and you feel like you're swinging nothing. It's harder to feel where the rope is and what your body is doing.
  • Too heavy or stiff? You definitely get feedback, but sometimes the hard way.

🌀 Our ropes are designed specifically for rope flow - made to be soft and forgiving for beginners, while still having enough weight and presence to help you feel every rotation.

The missing piece in your fitness routine

What's the point of getting stronger if that strength doesn't help you live your life?

A functional body also needs:

  • Strength and endurance
  • Balance and coordination
  • Mobility and range of motion
  • Rotational strength
  • The ability to move dynamically and react to the world around you

Because life doesn't happen in straight lines.

We bend. Twist. Reach. Rotate. Balance.

And if we don't practice those movements...We lose them.

Rope Flow challenges your coordination while encouraging rotational movements that strengthen your lower back and improve shoulder mobility.

Flow ropes will wear down with use (especially where they strike the ground) but proper care can extend their life:

🌦️ Care & Maintenance

Use on smooth surfaces

Stick to grass, rubber flooring, hardwood, yoga mats, or clean pavement.

You can wrap the apex of your rope (where it hits the ground) with electrical tape, duct tape, or kinesiology tape for added protection. However:

  • It may affect the rope’s feel and flow.
  • Removing the tape can damage the fibers or leave sticky residue.

Only do this if you’re certain it’s worth the trade-off.

Avoid

Rough concrete or gravel - they cause fraying.

Cleaning

Hand wash in warm water with mild soap or rope-safe cleaners. Disinfecting wipes are also an option. Never use bleach. Rinse thoroughly if it has been exposed to saltwater.

Drying

Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid direct sun or high heat, which can weaken the rope. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew.

Ropes may experience shrinkage and shorten if tumble dried on medium to high heat.

Heavy Ropes: Avoid dryers as they can cause the handles to come undone, or worse, the core to become separated from the sheath. Air dry for up to 72 hours with a fan if possible.

Check the Ends

Re-tape or re-wrap them when they start to wear.

Rope Shrinkage/Swelling

Is normal over the lifetime of a rope. Minimizing water exposure or excessive heat reduces this.

Rope Repair

If the apex of your rope start to fray, you can gently reseal the fibers using a heat gun or by quickly passing it over a low flame.

Caution: Avoid high heat. Too much can burn the rope or fuse the fibers, making it stiff or brittle. Use just enough heat to slightly melt the stray fibers and prevent further fraying.

If the outer sheath of your rope wears down and the inner core becomes visible, your rope is nearing the end of its life.

Taping it with electrical, duct, or kinesiology tape may offer a short-term fix, but it won’t restore the rope’s original feel or function.

At this stage, you can either keep flowing until it fully wears out, or consider replacing it for a better experience.
