Use it in alpine draws which are lighter than my sport draws becasue of this sling. Extremly skinny which allows you to work with them with ease and efficency.

These slings are great. Light and strong. The only drawback with Dyneema is that it doesn't hold knots very well. This is a great product without a doubt.

I like these slings because they're light and compact making it easier to carry a bunch on your rack or over your shoulder.

Awesome Slings I have several and appreciate the strenght coupled with the light weight.

if you haven't used these before.
leaning back on a multi pitch belay and trusting your life to what appears to be thin piece of packing tape is an experience!!!
they are so light and so thin it's hard to believe. have stopped holding my breath on belay

Very light and they do not take up a lot of room. Works great with an alpine quickdraw. I don't know how durable they will be. I am guessing if you get 2-3 years out of them be happy.

Probably my favorite piece of climbing equipment (besides my rope). These slings are incredibly light, so I don't really notice them on my rack until I need them. They're a bit more expensive than other slings, but I think that the benefit of Dyneema outweighs (or underweighs, depending on your perspective) other materials.

Will buy more!! Excellent material, strong and light.
from Glendale, CA on 1/19/2007
I've been using these for two seasons now, and they have held up very well. I love the light weight and low bulk. I agree that the seqn section is stiff, but all sewn slings suffer from this, so I don't think it's a discriminator.
from Lakewood, CO on 10/4/2006
What can be said? Super-light, super-strong, these are unbeatable. Haven't used enough to assess how fraying compares to other sewn Dyneema runners, but have less surface area to be frayed so that's probably a plus

This product is a great replacement for 9/16 nylon slings. Much less bulk & weight.
from Bowling Green, Ky. on 6/5/2006
Throw away all the crappy nylons and open your arms to the world of Dyneema. If spectra doesn't watch out it's next on the hitlist!
