The Beal Top Gun II Dry Cover is a durable all round single rope at a fairly hefty 10.5mm diameter. This gives it excellent durability, though it's not the lightest rope around. Despite the large diameter it is a very supple rope making it ideal for easy catches and clipping when at the wall or single pitch cragging for trad and sport.

Beal's Dry Cover coating is a sheath treatment which prevents the sheath from absorbing almost any water, it also protects from dirt, heat and abrasion. This coating gives the rope some additional protection and increases its longevity, but it isn't ideal for prolonged use in wet conditions.
