Still learning about this stuff so here is some info in one spot:
Samson Rope and New England Ropes are rope manufacturers with trade names for their products. Dyneema is named by the chemical company that supplies the rope outfits.
Samson Lash-it:
1/16 inch, 1.8mm, 500# test, 1.92 oz. per hundred feet
3/32 inch, 2.2mm, 650# test, 2.56 oz. per hundred feet, Zpacks sells it
New England Ropes Dynaglide:
5/64 inch, 2.0mm, 1000#test, 1.6 oz. per hundred feet, Arrowhead Equipment
Samson Amsteel Blue:
7/64 inch, 2.5mm, 1600#test, 4.8 oz. per hundred feet
