Bomber!
These slings are great for 2 reasons. 1) They have nylon as a base material, 2) they have dyneema threaded through them. What this means is that you have the strength of dyneema and the slight elacticity of nylon. We all know that shock-loading dyneema/spectra cord is really bad along with adding a knot in dyneema/spectra is also bad. However with these runners you have the nylon to allow a bit of give. I would avoid knotting them in general but for alpine draws they are great. Yep, you add a bit of weight due to the dual material construction but that makes them more versatile for anchors and whatnot. Great strength considering the weight. These are by far the last thing I think about in the system as far as strength is concerned.
90cm is the perfect length
This may seem trivial to some, but this is the only sling I've found that comes in the elusive 90cm length (i.e., not too short, not too long). 60cm is often too short when finagling stances with a partner on multi-pitch, and 120cm is too long in nearly every anchor situation (you REALLY don't want slack in your statics). I run two of these from the front harness between my legs and clip them to the back of the harness. They have just enough slack so as to be comfortable, while staying out of my way when I'm placing pro and stepping through dihedrals.
Nice on ice
Lots of ice climbing anchor wear no issues with fraying etc
Works great
Hung my hammock mounts and the studs were a little too far apart so this made a great extension for me to enjoy my hammock on my porch.
Go to for alpine draws
Use these to have ready racked alpine draws for nut placements.
Strong, strong, strong!
Great alpine runner! I have many and they perform well. I have no doubts about falling on these. Not as light as the Mammut Dyneema slings, but who cares? I will continue to buy these slings. The weight savings between these and the Mammuts is negligible. It's sort of psychological pro in that these are thicker and when doubled up they feel indestructible.
Does what it needs to do!
This is a great runner for a really long extension from a piece of protection or for building an uncomplicated and tight 2-3 piece anchor. My only complaint is with how stiff it can feel, but it's not the worst thing in the world. It coils up nicely, isn't overly stiff to the point where you can't tie it– it's just a tad thicc around the middle ;)
9/16 is not the width...
I own a bunch of the old ones, and wanted to get a couple new, and a couple replacements, these are thinner than advertised here... BW says they are 13mm, 9/16 is 14.3mm. Doesn't sound like much but it is noticable, and I really don't like them for that.
Simple design
I like this PA strap, but not as much as my Metolius PAS. This is a simple design, but is challenging when needing different lengths while setting or cleaning an anchor. I like how how slim and light this PA is. Good for the price, will continue to use, but prefer my more easily adjustable PAS.
Straight up amazing
I Work on cell towers and use these for sending up nosebag with tools other small items and I’ve had some for over 4-5 months and they get roughed up and used daily through the constant changing weather and never have let me down yet. All components still working like they are brand new
