Bullet-proof Kevlar mesh renders our compression resistant Flak Jacket Derailleur cable housing lighter, more flexible and impervious to thrashing. Ultralow-friction stainless steel inner wires make for smooth, effortless control. And the Shield-Lock liner slip over the Shield-Lock ferrules to seal the entire system from mud, grit and grime.
The Tree Fort Bikes Take: We have used this lifesaver many times to compensate for finicky derailleur problems. It really does seal out most of the dirt allowing situations, such as those caused by low-normal derailleurs, to move more smoothly.

I have used this many times in the past to fix finicky rear derailleurs. I almost always use a teflon inner cable along with this to get the best possible shifting. The issue I was having in the past was that the Shimano Low Normal Derailleurs were not liking normal Derailleur Cable Housing and weren't making it all the way into gear after a few days in the grit and grime. The SRAM Flak Jacket helped fix this issue almost every time.
