The treatments for Beal Ropes (dry cover vs. golden dry). In reality is there much to separate these types of rope treatment?

I want 'dry enough' for winter - will either suffice?

In reply to davesa: If you want Beal for winter you need golden dry. DRY cover if I recall is an abbreviation for durable, resistant yarn not a full on dry treatment.

In reply to shorts:

So it is, how sneaky.

A Golden Dry rope is a rope with the core dry treated, and a sheath of Dry Cover.
On a Dry Cover rope, the core is not treated.
