Why it made the list
Fifty feet of gold reflective nylon wrapped around a Dyneema core. Kelty's Triptease has been the default tent guy line for two decades because it is light, strong, and impossible to miss in the dark.
Pros
- Dyneema core keeps stretch minimal
- Gold reflective jacket is exceptionally visible
- Fifty-foot spool covers a full tent
Cons
- Small diameter needs line-locks or good knots
- Only one color option
Best uses
- Tent guy-outs
- Tarp corners
- Replacing factory guylines
