You can rig up your own quick-draws cheaper buying the parts individually, crazy...huh?!

It you want something says "Yeah that will hold me no matter how wicked I fall!", then this is your sling. Having a noticeable amount of more width to them then any other slings for only a gram or two of extra weight, I have to say it's no contest.

The sling is great. The rubber piece holds the biner in place very very well. I've used this sling with other biners as well, not just the spirits. They aren't the lightest slings but they are very very tough, and if you break the little rubber piece you can order a bunch more from petzl for not too much. Go to a store and practice clipping with these versus other slings with the biners you are going to use. I recommend these to anyone.

I use these because I prefer nylon over Dyneema for sport draws. No complaints here: They're solid, durable and work with any biner I've tried them with (mine are set up with WC Helium rope end and DMM Shadow bolt end... sweet draw). Also, note that Petzl at some point redesigned the String (the rubber biner holder on one end) so that it is more robust and no longer held on by the tiny 2mm rubber sections. The new version is much superior to the old. I would give these five stars, but really it's just a sewn chunk of nylon, nothing too special about it. That being said, if you need draws and want nylon, don't hesitate to get these, they're the best out there.

The price is high, but no other dogbone compares. The nylon is strong and durable, lasting longer than those skinny spectra and dyneema runners. And who cares about weight, hell it is only sport climbing. If weight is an issue, you'll probably be pink-pointing anyway. And that rubber string works great and is plenty durable. I've never had a single problem with those or the dogbone itself. I use a few of these with BD biners, but my friends' Spirit draws are awesome, as well.

Theses slings are great I use them with a combination of the petzl spirit for the bolt end and the black diamond livewire biner for my quickdraws. The thick nylon keep the draws from twisting and the rubber protector on the rope end of the sling not only keeps the biner in place but protects the sling from rubbing against the rock.

These are great for draws: they are stiff, the right length, and the little rubber doodad that's included keeps your ‘biners both oriented correctly and makes those long clips that much easier.

I love these dogbones. Perfect shape, size, weave, etc. They do weigh more than some of the new spectra/dynex 10mm bones, but the durability gained far outweighs the small weigh difference. I've been using these for about 8 months now with very little wear. I'll defiantly buy these again.

This sling is King! The grip end is awesome.

Almost all of the climbing gear I own is Petzl because I love it and trust it. This sling is of the best quality and nice and thick for it's narrow width. It is as sturdy as they come.

These Slings are great the little rubber thing on the end makes clipping a breeze. I love them and would recommend them to any one

the sling itself is great, the only problem i've found with it is that it is difficult to get the biner in and then tighten the rubber to keep the biner in place.

Too bulky and too heavy. I don't like these at all. Thin spectra/dyneema may not be quite as durable, but it's pretty damn good. Every ounce matters.

This is the first time I've ordered Petzl slings, in the past I've always used Black Diamond. The sling itself seems strong, but the "string webbing protector which keeps carabiners aligned with their strongest axis" mentioned above is attached to the sling with only a thin piece of rubber (as in 2mm, if that) , which is not nearly as strong as what you get on a similar BD sling, where they integrate it into the hole the 'biner goes into. I had one break off just by getting caught on a clip in my bag! I finally just took them off. The slings are, I'm sure, just fine for climbing, but I'll be ordering BD in the future.

I like the sling, but have to disagree with the other reviewers about the rubber part that holds your 'biner in place. It's attached to the sling with a tiny (about 2mm) piece of rubber, I broke one when it got caught on a clip in my bag. Other than that it seems okay, but I'll stick with the slings with the integrated rubber from BD in the future.
