Nylon 16mm Open Sling

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 Dynatec 8mm Open Slings are great keeping down the weight of your rack and are just as strong as their thicker variants. These skinny slings are particularly useful for narrow thread protection and they feature a plastic binding over the stitching for abrasion resistance. They are rated the same as the 11mm version (22kN).

The DMM Nylon 26mm Open Slings are very strong and durable nylon slings ideal for centre use. These are the strongest tape in DMM's range, rated at a massive 32kN. When strength and longevity are paramount these are the ones.

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 Petzl Anneau is a sewn sling with an open loop that is available in different lengths. They are colour coded for easy identification of length.

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.
