“My crew finds the use of Chafe-Pro^® easy to install on our mooring lines. We have cruised extensively throughout the South Pacific islands this past year where many of our moorings were made to rough edged cement piers. We relied on Chafe-Pro^® to protect our mooring lines – it never let us down.”

“Chafe-Pro^® sleeves perform excellent in chocks protecting HMPE fiber mooring lines.”

“We tried Chafe-Pro^® in various applications and found them to be flexible, abrasion resistant, and easy to use… we found this to be an excellent product that conformed tightly to the bends and resisted chafe well.”

– Practical Sailor, April 2009

“Gone through 2 hurricanes, great on my 39 ft. sailboat. Have four and they went through Irene and Sandy without any indication of wear and tear. They fit both my diameter lines and are easily adjusted up or down the lines.”

“We tried other chafing gear made from HMPE type materials and found them unsatisfactory for protecting our mooring lines from chafe. Our Chafe-Pro^® units have lasted more than two years and still have not shown any signs of significant wear.”

– Capt. J.P. Friedman
Master, F/V Pacific Breeze

“Highly effective on Push gear for Tug & Barge operators.”

– Erik Gronbeck
Vice President, Atlantic Cordage

“Over the past few months, we have used Chafe-Pro^®’s Ship Tow units numerous times while towing ships and barges. We also used the Commercial Grade units to protect our nylon anchor lines. During each use, the crew was able to apply the unit quickly and easily, without much effort or delay. The units are flexible enough for the crew to easily adjust its position along the line as needed. When the line was taken to the capstan, the unit accompanied the line around the capstan without jamming. The fabric of the unit held up well during repeated use on rough surfaces. Seaward services is very pleased with the quality of Chafe-Pro^®’s products. The units have saved our equipment a significant amount of wear and tear.”

– Capt. Gerald Cooper, Port Captain

“TAMS have used Chafe-Pro^® products on a few different applications to date and have found it to be bullet proof… Chafe-Pro^® really is the best option for built to suit, application after fabrication and all problems solved chafe guard on the market.”
