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 Petzl Axess is a simple and durable quickdraw sling designed for sport climbing and multi-pitch climbing. The String helps maintain the proper orientation of the karabiner and protect the carabiner attachment loop from wear.

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 SAR Products 18mm Circular Sling are made using a 18mm polyester superweb and have a tensile strength of 24kN which exceeds the standard set by EN354 of 22kN. A multi-use sling, can be used for belays, attachments, foot loops, etc.

The Beal American Tube Tape 26mm is tough and durable. You can use a tape knot to make your own gear sling, but remember sewn slings are always much stronger.

The Beal Jammy is a 5.5mm sewn rope sling for self-locking knots made with an aramid core and polyamide sheath.

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 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.
