Mammut

Dyneema Contact Sling - 8mm

The sling feels good in the hand and is small enough to not take up too much room in your gear loops

best for alpine draws

If you've ever had the sewn bartack get caught on a carabiner while extending an alpine draw, the mammut contact sling is the solution. They cost the same as other dyneema slings but the smooth bartack flips through the carabiner more easily. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for dyneema slings. Weight and strength ratings are basically identical across all manufacturers of dyneema slings so I can't see a reason to go with any other brand.

Light, compact, and perfect for alpine draws and anchor building.

None Better

I love these things. They can be used for (almost) any situation where you would use a sewn sling, but I use these primarily for alpine style quickdraws. They are ideal for that purpose as they are both compact and lightweight, and they more consistently lie flat on your rack as they are constructed of tubular webbing which enables the ends to be tucked into each other, thus avoiding the overlap that so frequently hangs up on carabiners when you are adjusting the sling.

Great Quality Sling

Very soft and supple sling. Knots tie well with it, but the 8.0mm width can be a pain with overhands to untie. The 240cm length was great for a bigger quad anchor, or a relatively compact 3 or 4 piece trad anchor. Takes up much less space than cordellette on my harness.

Good for alpine draws

Good for alpine draws, stitching is a little thick.

The thin slings are great for alpine draws, minimizing bulk on the harness.

Fave Slings

These are my go-to slings. Easy handling- tag sewn flat over the low profile bar tack mitigates snagging. 60s and 120s get regular use for alpines, and the 240 is a great super light option/alternative to cord for anchors. Will continue to replace most of my older slings with these as they wear out.

These are the best dyneema slings on the market. Lightweight with great stitching where the loop connects so it slides through carabiners smoothly and rarely gets snagged, making extending your alpines a breeze. My preferred slings to make alpine draws with. The 240cm one is great to make gear anchors with as well. They look nice too, good colors.

Great for quad anchors

The thin profile makes these great for building quad anchors. The sewn part is also thin and doesn't have the ends sticking out, so they don't get caught like other slings. Lots of uses... anchor building, alpine draws, prusiks, makeshift harness or ascender.
