Synthetic winch rope.
I always have read a rope that breaks falls to the ground. No danger to anyone. Unless you are about to fall off a cliff.
With syn, you can tie it and keep going and a perm fix is to splice it. I read a deal by masterpull on how to do this on a smaller TX foru*.

I dont think a "rope cover" is what you'd be looking for, you just need your typical "winch cover" which will help prolong your rope.. I don't think there is just a "rope cover".

This isn't some mechanical question involving failure where the result would be fixing what broke on the trail, this is an issue of safety which we should all hold in the up-most regard.
Moral is, buy a new rope. Use some of the money you saved by buying used and buy some new rope and adhesive remover for those God-awful stickers.
Good luck,
