Of course, each tech has a preference for their own personal kit pieces, but we have found that our graduates purchase this exact kit once preparing for their first work site. Each piece featured here is Pacific Ropes approved and is considered a complete kit in Rope Access, which is ready for nearly any job!

The cost on this kit ranges depending on where you make this purchase, but when you train with Pacific Ropes we offer a 10% off discount for gear purchased through us. 

As with all of our gear reviews and recommendations, we always encourage you to visit a training facility to properly understand the correct use and function of any new gear piece you purchase to ensure your absolute safety on rope.

From all of us on the Pacific Ropes team,

Stay safe and we'll see you on the ropes!
