Great question. Protect is a dry treatment applied to the sheath. Dry is applied to both sheath and core strands. The protect is great for extending the life of the rope, while the Dry treatment keeps the rope dry in wet uses(up to 50% dryers). https://community.mammut.ch/t5/Mammut-Magazine/Mammut-Ropes-New-categories-for-greater-transparency/ba-p/776
