Yellow Jacket 12 is a 12-strand single braid of bio-based Dyneema® SK75 HMPE fiber enhanced with Yale's Maxijacket High Performance Coating. The specific color pattern allows for easier identification of twisting in the rope, which can lead to a decrease in its working strength. Built tough and designed for enhanced strength to meet the rugged demands of your application.

  • Sustainable manufacturing with a low carbon footprint
  • Enhanced creep life
  • Superior abrasion resistance with maxijacket coating
  • Color pattern made for twist identification
  • 3-5% higher break strength lb for lb over generic HMPE

Yellow Jacket 12 is fully Berry Compliant; both the fiber and the finished rope are proudly made in the USA.

Yellow Jacket Specifications and Data






* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dyanmic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down,
in excess or 10% of the rope’s related working load constitute hazardous shock load and would void the normal working-load
recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and the safe use of rope.
