| Very easy to organize, create draws with etc. Extremely light (though we're talking about slings here, so lets not overdue the lightness discussion). If your budget is unlimited this is the premiere sling imo. |
|
Cred: 922 | | Thin, strong, easy to make doubles or trick doubles for alpine draws. They are great for these reasons, but require a little more knowledge than nylon. |
| Don't factor 2 onto them or they can snap. Dyneema has pretty nill elongation, so static falls are a big no no. This means don't use the slings to clip anything static that can be shock loaded (i.e. youself to a belay station).
They wear out faster than their larger nylon counterparts due to their small surface area. |
| Nylon, specter, ultratape (dyneema / nylon hybrid) |

Cred: 555 | | These are the gold standard. Small and light! The way they do the bartacking is also alot less prone to getting tangled and stuck. |
| Something thicker (It's kindof all the same). If i'm not going to tripple them to make a trad draw, I find 18mm nylon (almost 1/3 the price) is fine. |

Cred: 2509 | | light, smooth, and strong. can't go wrong. use for tripling up on trad routes. |
| i use nylon for price and durability whenever bulk is not an issue. |

Cred: 1250 | | i found one of these on the ground the other day and just tried it out today. i generally just use webbing with knots in it, but these slings seem to be well worth the few extra dollars. |
