This infinity cord is really skinny. My triple length infinity cord (180) packs down smaller than my double length magic sling (120).
I’ve used this cord primarily as a rap extension, but also occasionally to thread chalk stones/pinches. It’s been great. Compared with other similar products, it has a good feel, knots well and is much less stiff. The “infinity” idea is a little overhyped, and like other similar products it does have a pretty clear splice that you need to take care to keep out of the way. Compared with some of the early products on the market, the infinity cord is thinner, and knots set harder than products made with aramid. After a couple months of use it’s holding up well, and seems like it will be a durable product.
The chord works great for its intended use. Seems very durable and is super light.
There’s so many applications for this one piece of gear. The infinity cord is great for anchor building, hard to reach places since it conforms to the shape you make it. and also good for natural anchors and trad climbing. It folds down nice and compact on your harness. Immense breaking strength. 1000% will buy another one. The 180cm is my favorite length. The 240cm is nice but a little long. Could be great for a three point trad anchor though.
The Infinity Cord is a smooth operator. Thin light and a just the right amount of stiffness to hold it’s shape for static beta at reachy anchors. Looking forward to picking up a variety of lengths for my kit when they are available.
The connected ends are less obtrusive than typical flat runners. They are also lighter while just as strong. I also like not having to pay attention to how the material lines up for knots etc since it round rather than flat.
Great piece of kit. Its obviously more expensive than an equivalent dyneema sling but racks on the harness better, handles knots really well and inspires confidence. Also nice to not have a bar-tack to be annoyed with!
I can’t give it five stars yet because durability has yet to be proven. But aside from that, ideal material for anchor material, slinging chicken heads, etc. . :
I'm impressed with how small, compact and lightweight this is for a fully rated cord.
I really like this cord. It’s easy to tie/untie and works well with gloved hands.
