The “Cadillac” of
the KEPS World
THE “CADILLAC” OF THE KEPS WORLD
QUICK FACTS:
Every piece of FABRIC used on the KEPS is of the HIGHEST
GRADE MATERIAL and is treated with INFRA-RED COATING
• FOAM: EV 50, 5/8” thick on the Knee-pad and 1/2” thick on
the elbow
• FABRIC: BK Mesh- same fabric used in high performance
running shoes (Asics, Saucony)
• CAPS: HDPE, High Density Polyethylene- the strongest
plastic on the market / 2x as thick as the previous
model
• TRI-BUCKLES: Glass-Reinforced Nylon 6 will never
wear out.
• STITCHING: Kevlar Thread on the Caps
• STEPS: Knee Pads- Designed to be “directional”,
so they grip in one direction, slide in the other
(good for crawling on the ground or scaling walls).
Elbow Pads- Designed to TRACK with the recoil of
the firearm and prevent your elbow from disengaging.
The ridges are symmetrical, so they stabilize the elbow
(when firing, etc.) regardless of how they are worn (e.g.,
either side “up”)
• ELBOW PAD ELASTIC: High Grade Hook-n-Loop with reinforced
box stitching.
• KNEE-PAD: We even tried to master the #1 issue of SLIPPAGE
High Grade Webbing on the bottom where the lower leg bones
and muscle (tibia/fibula) have more restrictive movement Highest
Grade Elastic on the upper area for the patella (knee-cap)
where the most active motion occurs.

American Made
Rescue Ropes!
AMERICAN MADE RESCUE ROPES!
Sterling Rope offers a comprehensive selection of
American made, high quality rescue, climbing and
tactical ropes.
From Static and Dynamic Ropes to Water and Fire
Rescue Ropes, Sterling Rope has the right product
for any situation. Two of the most versatile ropes can
be found in the ADS Tactical Assault Climbing Kit- the
Velocity 9.8mm and the HTP Static.Velocity 9.8mm
is one of the most durable, best handling ropes on
the market. It has a round, balanced sheath and
core construction making it lighter, with low impact
forces and excellent handling qualities, zero sheath
slippage, and most importantly- DryCore. This
outstanding technical innovation, which is central
to all Sterling ropes, is a proprietary coating process
applied to all core yarns which inhibits moisture
absorption, maintaining the yarn’s original strength
and elongation characteristics.
Sterling’s HTP all-polyester ropes offer significant
advantages over nylon static ropes in many
applications. With less than 1% stretch per 300-pound
load, the need to pre-tension is less, reducing the
loads on high lines and tracklines as well as the time
to set up. In addition, the HTP has superior strength
and handling due to the unique and finely tuned
sheath and twisted core construction. Sterling has
worked hard to continually improve the handling of
this rope and still give you maximum strength with
long-term durability. Even after extensive use, the HTP
remains supple and easy to use.
