To mark the 250th Anniversary of the United States, Notch is releasing the Vertec Revolution: a Limited Edition Rope Runner Vertec, with only 250 units made. Finished in a Red, White & Blue colorway with the Aeris pulley pre-installed, each unit is individually numbered and ships with a certificate of authenticity. This exclusive commemorative product is a piece of history for the people who build their lives in the canopy.

The Rope Runner Vertec Revolution is the same next-generation climbing and work positioning device trusted by arborists every day, designed by Notch in collaboration with Kevin Bingham. This 250th Commemorative Edition comes with the Aeris friction body kit pre-installed (in blue, above), replacing the lower bollard with a compact, free-running pulley for faster controlled descents, smoother slack flow during limb walks, and more efficient tending in the canopy.

What makes this edition different: a Red, White & Blue colorway commemorating America’s semiquincentennial, an individually engraved unit number, a certificate of authenticity, and a limited production run of exactly 250 units. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

The Vertec Revolution celebrates America’s 250th year, and part of honoring that milestone means supporting the people who have dedicated their lives to defending it. A portion of proceeds from every unit sold goes directly to the SEAL Future Foundation (SFF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to helping Navy SEALs build successful lives beyond active duty.

Founded in 2012, SFF provides free lifetime resources to active duty and veteran SEALs across four pillars: health, career, education, and community. From covering the costs of critical healthcare and brain injury treatment, to mentoring SEALs into civilian careers, funding education, and building a nationwide network of peer support communities, SFF ensures that those who served our country at the highest level have every opportunity to thrive when they move beyond active service.

The impact speaks for itself: more than 4,100 SEALs participating in SFF programs, over 2,500 SEALs treated, an 85% rate of members entering school or finding their next career, and $14.5 million invested in programs since inception. We’re proud to partner with SFF through product donations, training and now the opportunity to share proceeds of the Vertec 250th Edition.

When you purchase this Rope Runner Vertec 250th Edition, you’re not just owning a piece of American history. You’re helping write the next chapter for the men who defended it. Learn more at sealff.org
