kernmantle

Page
Rigging. A type of rope construction most often used for climbing and sometimes rigging.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernmantle_rope :
Kernmantle rope is rope constructed with its interior core (the kern) protected with a woven exterior sheath (mantle) that is designed to optimize strength, durability, and flexibility. The core fibers provide the tensile strength of the rope, while the sheath protects the core from abrasion during use. The name is derived from German Kernmantel which means core jacket.
