Polyester Anchor Rode - A LIttle Help on Sourcing, Please

I have read some of the excellent discussions here on c.f. regarding nylon vs polyester rodes.

I realize its a complex issue with many trade-off's, however, I would like to purchase some high quality polyester anchor line but am having trouble finding it. This will be as part of my storm anchor setup, while I intend to use the typical 3-stand nylon rode for my everyday anchoring needs.

Can anyone suggest any particular manufacturer or specs that they were happy with? Any links, etc. are greatly appreciated.

Much thanks!

Personally speaking I'd skip the 3 strand nylon and go for Anchorplait... its fantastic stuff that coils really well, has excellent shock asorbing properties and is not that much more expensive when looked at overall.... use it for ALL your hooks, not just 'Storm Gear'..... you can sometimes get caught with no warning.
Liros Anchorplait Spliced to Chain - Info Only
I know its a UK site but you'll get an idea... sure its easily available in the US.

Liros or Plastimo. There is also a German make but you have to google it out for yourself.
