    Leave those old bulky slings at home! The slim Mammut Contact Sling 8.0 weighs only 14g (60cm length) and has great handling characteristics to make clipping easy.

    • Sling has a narrow 8mm width and a low-profile connection in place of a knot
    • Dyneema®, a polyethylene fiber, is incredibly strong, lightweight and resistant to moisture and ultraviolet light
    • Contact stitching technique gives the sling great handling, even in the area of the seam
    • Add a couple lightweight carabiners (sold separately) to make your own extendable sling for alpine climbing

    Please note: Mammut products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

    Imported.

      Comments about Mammut Contact Sling Dyneema 8.0:

      The Mammut and Black Diamond slings are identical on paper. The differences are as follows:

      - The stitching on the Mammut is shorter, and the ends spliced in such a way as not to catch on things
      - The Black Diamond slings seem less prone to fuzzing and abrasion
      - The Mammut is more flexible, knottable, and handles better.
      - The Black Diamond seems to slide more smoothly through carabiners in self-equalizing rigs.
      - They're both the same width, despite being "8mm" and "10mm" on the spec sheets.

      It doesn't make much difference in the end. Both are far far lighter and more compact than nylon, and less prone to twists and tangles than cord.

      I use Mammut for my draws and Black Diamond for anchor rigging just so I can tell them apart at a glance.
