5MM X 1.5M length for making into a Prussik. This length is the best size for making a loop of rope that can be stowed on your harness just incase you have to ascend a rope in a emergency, also used as a backup when abseiling. The 5mm thickness is for use on ropes aboe 9.8MM and this thickness of cord wont bit too hard on the rope so it can be released with out too much hassle. If you want a prussik that will lock up tight in a emergency then I would suggest a 4MM prussik but it will become tricky to release.
