Alpine Trad Sling
A must for alpine, ice, trad and multi-pitch climbers: The single-strand Alpine Trad Sling offers faster and therefore safer handling than traditional slings. Instead of pulling it over your head and arm, you simply unclip the carabiner and pull the sling from your body. The Alpine Trad Sling uses the same quantity of material as a round sling, but rather than being stitched into a closed ring, the single-strand construction has a loop at each end to attach a carabiner. Intermediate belays can be quickly and easily shortened from 120 to 60 or 30 cm. 100% ultra-light Dyneema material offering the following advantages in comparison with regular nylon: higher strength/weight ratio, reduced water absorption and greater abrasion resistance. Weight 31 g. Weight reduction of 11% compared with our lightest sling 120 cm Contact Sling 8.0.

Simple and smart
This is great for alpine climbing, no more fighting with shoulder slings and incredibly efficient in use.

Amazing original product
very innovative product! Lighter, stronger, and faster to use then its circular sewn predecessor. Would highly recommend these slings, great for many other rigging applications also. I wish it came in a longer length though. A 240 cm would be nice also.

Great sling and carabiner, I use this as an alpine draw when I need a little less drag.

Excellent for its design
I bought this out of curiosity and it's definitely lighter and less bulky than it's traditional sewn loop counterpart. The carabiner that comes with it is the Wall Key Lock bent carabiner and is of good quality too. For anchor building, I'm used to working a sewn loop, so I didn't like using this at first. After putting some thought into it, it's definitely just as usable for anchor building as a regular sewn loop. I'll probably force myself to use it more before and see how I like it before committing to a couple more. The quality is outstanding.
