Wet Tech Rigging

Introducing Wet Tech Rigging's range of Chafe Sleeving


Top quality Polyester chafe sleeving sold by the metre.
This 52-carrier sleeving is beautiful to work with and provides outstanding abrasion resistance in any application.

Can be used for chafe protection, friction / diameter reduction & UV protection for halyards, loops, soft shackles, 4WD equipment and so forth.

Sizing Information Notes:

  • "Double Braid" refers to "cored" lines with a polyester cover. Chafe sleeving typically replaces the polyester cover to form a "tip" in these lines
  • "Single Braid (Unspliced)" refers to using the chafe sleeve as cover only, without the extra diameter required for a splice
  • "Single Braid (Spliced)" refers to using the chafe sleeve in a spliced line, where extra diameter is needed

Important Sizing Information:

  • 20mm Sleeving Suits: 16mm Double Braid | 14mm Single Braid (Unspliced) | 10mm Single Braid (Spliced)
  • 22mm Sleeving Suits: 18mm Double Braid | 16mm Single Braid (Unspliced) | 11mm Single Braid (Spliced)
  • 25mm Sleeving Suits: 20mm Double Braid | 18mm Single Braid (Unspliced) | 12mm Single Braid (Spliced)

Please note that the responsibility for choosing the correct product falls solely on the buyer. I have attempted to present as much information as possible to help make an educated decision. Ultimately it is up to the buyer to make a judgement call. If you are unsure, please don't hesitate to ask for sizing assistance.
