Dynatec 8mm Open Sling

The DMM Dynatec 11mm Open Slings can be used for belays, running belays and to form a quickdraw using 2 karabiners, they are made with Dyneema® and rated at 22kN.

The DMM Dynatec 11mm Quickdraw Tapes are individual quickdraw extenders that can be used in between two karabiners to make a quickdraw. One end of the tape has a sewn-in 'tadpole' retainer of rubber which a karabiner can thread through and then clip onto the rope, making the karabiner less likely to spin or become cross-loaded by the rope in the event of a fall. The longer lengths are useful for trad climbing, particularly single rope use as there is less chance of rope drag and movement lifting out placed protection.

The DMM nylon slings are wider and heavier than Dynatec for the same strength rating. However, it is a good all-round material that withstands repeated flexing better than Dynatec, has greater shock absorbsion, is less expensive and has a higher melting point. This makes nylon slings appropriate for heavy use or where weight isn't a prime consideration.

The Edelrid Tech Web Sling 12mm is strong, lightweight and durable. It has a high-strength Dyneema® core to keep weight to a minimum, that is wrapped in a light nylon sheath to provide abrasion protection for the core and improved grip.

The OCUN ST-Sling DYN 12mm is a practical sling for self-assembly. There are particularly long lengths and therefore perfect for alpine terrain. The lightweight Dyneema® material is robust and durable, and the sling is also less bulky than Ocun's O slings. So it's ideal when every gram of weight saved counts.

The Petzl string has two main functions: holding the rope end carabiner in place on a quickdraw or sling, and protecting a relatively high-wear area of a sling from abrasion. Either way this will increase the durability of your equipment. Made from rubber.
