I know IWRC is standing for "Independent Wire Rope Core", but I need to know what "E" is standing for in "EIWRC". My first guess would be Extra, but I'm not sure at all.
So please let me know what "E" is standing for, and what it means in terms of differences between IWRC and EIWRC.....
Is EIWRC a better sling than IWRC type? More expensive too?
Thanks
