These Dyneema 8 mm Mammut slings are the lightest, full-strength slings you'll find anywhere! Drop some weight without giving up pizza & pop. *Note: These slings do not stretch and will not absorb energy during a fall or shock-load situation. Climbing and mountaineering require the use of dynamic rope to absorb energy during a fall.
Mammut Tubular Dyneema 8mm Contact Slings are the ultimate slings for super-light alpine climbing or simply shaving ounces off your rack. What makes them so special? They weigh next to nothing, don't absorb water, don't freeze, and are more abrasion-resistant than nylon. Use the 60cm length for over-the-shoulder slings, the 120cm length for tying off horns and chockstones, and the 180cm length for an ultralight cordelette.
The patented Contact Stitching method and the high rigidity Dyneema fibre go to create these high performance lightweight slings. Perfect for using on belays or when climbing trad routes that wander. Super strong, incredibly lightweight, and made by one of the top rope manufacturers in the world, so they know their stuff.
These are the lightest, full-strength slings you'll find! Features: . Dyneema is lighter and stronger than typical nylon slings to save weight . Strength: 22kN.

Great Slings | |
| Rating: |  |
These are great all purpose slings at very low weight and bulk. They make killer alpine draws (way less bulky than nylon when doubled), but I get the most use out of the 180cm that I keep tied in an equalizing quad. Makes setting up belays off of two bolts a snap and is strong enough to hang you and your truck. These things are really great for everything, as long as you keep their limitations in mind (these things are skinny, so you don't want them rubbing against rock or sharp edges. Also, even though the jury is still out on this one, you should probably never girth hitch these to other slings). | |

Best sling I've seen and used out there. I've got 3 of the 120cm's for anchor building and long extensions and 15 of the 60cm's as my primary extendable slings (replaced all my dogbones). They are light, very light. The weave holds up great to abuse (no snagging), and the end connection is great (see the pic in past reviews, explained very well). It essentially feels like a continuous loop, which makes racking much easier. My 2yr old slings look brand new despite hard use from the Gunks to AZ to Thailand. | |

Know their limits | |

As everyone has said - these are amazing, but don 't switch all your slings over. Depending on the rock and route, keep a few bulky slings on your rack for placements that will encounter edges. If nothing else, it feels good to know you have a lot of nylon running around that nasty edge. | |

Best invention since duct tape | |

| Probably my favorite piece of climbing equipment (besides my rope). These slings are incredibly light, so I don't really notice them on my rack until I need them. They're a bit more expensive than other slings, but I think that the benefit of Dyneema outweighs (or underweighs, depending on your perspective) other materials. | |

My favorite sling | |

I use the 60cm sling for all of my extendable draws. They are lightweight and not bulky, but the Mammut label on the slings is a bit of a pain when you are tying them off. Although most of the time it's just a minor annoyance that is easily fixed. | |

OMG its so thin and light! | |
| Rating: | |
| if you haven't used these before. leaning back on a multi pitch belay and trusting your life to what appears to be thin piece of packing tape is an experience!!! they are so light and so thin it's hard to believe. have stopped holding my breath on belay ;-) | |

Nylon slings are a thing of the past | |

| Awesome slings. Super lightweight, strong and did I mention light? So far, absolutely no complaints. I'm using the 24" ones for trad draws and I have a 48" I use for my personal safety while at the top of pitches. I love them for both of these uses. | |

Got wild one night on the internet, pulled out the credit card and ordered a bunch of these. It changed my life forever...I've been so happy since I switch all to Dyneema. This stuff is space age technology, space shuttle stuff! So light they seem to float. | |

Light is Right! | |

These slings weigh a fraction of old-style shoulder lengths. It's great to be able to grab 10 of these when you start up a pitch, and feel like you are carrying almost nothing. One of my favorite pieces of gear, for sure. | |

good sling | |
| Rating: | |
| Very light and they do not take up a lot of room. Works great with an alpine quickdraw. I don't know how durable they will be. I am guessing if you get 2-3 years out of them be happy. | |

Good BUT Dangerous | |
| Rating: |  |
| This is a great product that has a serious flaw, that people need to know. All PURE (ie 10mm or less)dyneema, spectra, dynex, and what ever else is out there are like steel cables. Super Strong tensil, but SUPER weak under shock loading...I have seen these and many others break under a very small factor fall. I'll explain. Lets say your at an anchor belaying your partner up. You are attached to the bolt of the anchor via one of these 24in slings. You stand up and are fiddling with whatever so that your waist is level with the anchor, and you slip; fall to the sling shock loading it with a Factor 1 fall and it WILL break. the sad part are thses slings will break under .5 Factor fall (You slipping with the anchor at your chest!!)I have seen it and confirmed it with different manufactures. Point is in lead climbing there is stetch (rope, gear, belay slippage, bodies even absorb some impact) which is good. but DO NOT USE THESE TO ATTACT YOURSELF DIRECTLY TO THE ANCHOR | |
