BATON ROUGE, Lousiana USA — Giant Leap Rocketry, Inc. introduces a 1/4" KEVLAR® BUNGEE.

According to Ed at Giant Leap, "the product is designed for the best of both worlds; it has the heat resistance and strength of KEVLAR, but the shock absorbing ability of bungee." It is 1/4" in diameter and should be used in applications similar to those of Giant Leap's existing 1/4" tubular KEVLAR.

As can be seen from the picture, it has bungee rubber in the center, with a KEVLAR wrap that is sewn in a way that allows the cord to stretch. The elasticity of the cord is much less than standard bungee in order to help avoid the potential collision of separated rocket parts that can occur with the highly elastic nature of standard bungee. Ed maintains that " to our knowledge, this is the first KEVLAR Bungee ever produced."
