Mammut Dyneema Contact Sling - 8mm

Mammut Tubular Dyneema 8mm Contact Slings are the ultimate slings for super-light alpine climbing or simply shaving ounces off your rack. What makes them so special? They weigh next to nothing, don't absorb water, don't freeze, and are more abrasion-resistant than nylon. Use the 60cm length for over-the-shoulder slings, the 120cm length for tying off horns and chockstones, and the 180cm length for an ultralight cordelette.

Bottom Line: Shave weight and bulk from your rack with the Mammut Tubular Dyneema 8mm Contact Slings.

Light is Right!

These slings weigh a fraction of old-style shoulder lengths. It's great to be able to grab 10 of these when you start up a pitch, and feel like you are carrying almost nothing. One of my favorite pieces of gear, for sure.

Got wild one night on the internet, pulled out the credit card and ordered a bunch of these. It changed my life forever...I've been so happy since I switch all to Dyneema. This stuff is space age technology, space shuttle stuff! So light they seem to float.

Here's a close up detail of the bar tacking, one end of the tube "swallows" the other before they sew it.

I had heard rumors that someone had an incident of them breaking when girth hitched, but who knows.

Lightweight and supple

By:
September 25, 2009

These are light and supple. The long ones make a great personal anchor, and you can extend to the full length just in case you find you need it once you're on the rock!

Best slings around imho

By:

Superthin at 8mm, solidly stiched (as it should be) and the overlaps are covered and smooth.

That sling between my legs ;)

By:
April 10, 2009

For you critique snobs, I was cleaning a rope for a guy who's follower couldn't follow, and setting up for my follower. This is the crux move. These slings held up great in Thailand. Some limestone is super sharp and there was no wear on my Mammut slings.

Great Slings

By:
November 28, 2008

These are great all purpose slings at very low weight and bulk. They make killer alpine draws (way less bulky than nylon when doubled), but I get the most use out of the 180cm that I keep tied in an equalizing quad. Makes setting up belays off of two bolts a snap and is strong enough to hang you and your truck. These things are really great for everything, as long as you keep their limitations in mind (these things are skinny, so you don't want them rubbing against rock or sharp edges. Also, even though the jury is still out on this one, you should probably never girth hitch these to other slings).

Amazing Runner

Not only are these light and strong, they're also smooth as silk. I've made a few extendable draws with these and I couldn't be happier. Grab a few if you can.

These are super light and strong. They hold up very well in winter and summer conditions and stay very pliable. Great slings all around.

Need a spokesman?

By:

Best sling I've seen and used out there. I've got 3 of the 120cm's for anchor building and long extensions and 15 of the 60cm's as my primary extendable slings (replaced all my dogbones). They are light, very light. The weave holds up great to abuse (no snagging), and the end connection is great (see the pic in past reviews, explained very well). It essentially feels like a continuous loop, which makes racking much easier. My 2yr old slings look brand new despite hard use from the Gunks to AZ to Thailand.

My favorite sling

By:
November 7, 2008

I use the 60cm sling for all of my extendable draws. They are lightweight and not bulky, but the Mammut label on the slings is a bit of a pain when you are tying them off. Although most of the time it's just a minor annoyance that is easily fixed.

Hard to beat. These are the best slings I've used because they're thin (8mm) and so light.

Know their limits

By:
May 26, 2009

As everyone has said - these are amazing, but don 't switch all your slings over. Depending on the rock and route, keep a few bulky slings on your rack for placements that will encounter edges. If nothing else, it feels good to know you have a lot of nylon running around that nasty edge.
