Mammut vs Black Diamond
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.
Best Dyneema Sling Out There
I have been exclusively using the Contact Sling 8 for the alpine draws in my rack for some time and could not be happier. They are extremely lightweight and surprisingly durable. Given their strength and weight, they make an excellent when you are trying to save weight. As with any dyneema sling, they have their disadvantages over nylon, but if you are looking for dyneema, these are the slings to get.
Great product, love the feel.
I bought these for anchor setting and placement extensions. I have them color coded to size. Red 60cm, Blue 120cm etc. I also have them bundled differently so I know what they are by touch. Be careful what knots you use in these as some knots can cause them to fail under load. (see the DMM video on YouTube) awesome product.
Good slings
I’ve used Mammut ropes and slings for decades. I’m still here. ‘nuff said.
Amazing
This is by far one of the best slings I have ever owned and I have owned many I'm glad to have a slim profile sling in order for it to have a proper placement on my hand ascender as well as I use them in order to improve my percentage of zero exposure when moving tools around on my harness by attaching it back on itself to my work loops and having the other end attached buy carabiner to my accessories
The best runners
These are the best runners made. Full strength, pretty durable, skinier and lighter than most slings. The kicker for me is the label sewn over the stitching so there is a less of a tendency for the stitching to catch when feeding through biners. I use these on all my alpine draws, although I use another brand for my double length alpine draws because thicker fabric unknots easier.
absolute alpine?
They are super light which is pretty sweet and they are stitched really nicely. However, they fray a lot more than the BD dynema slings which can be really annoying when the frays catch on lichen which seems to grow a lot in the alpine...
The best runners for alpine draws
These runners are extremely skinny and lightweight for a full strength runner. Mammut sm'd method for attaching the two ends is awesome, so much sleeker than the standard way. This means less hanging up on carabiners which is especially beneficial when using them for alpine draws. So far, with all factors considered, these are the best runners for alpine draws that I have found. With the 60 cm size they get tripled for the traditional alpine draw configuration and the 30 cm size I double them over for a trad draw (they are just a tad too short for the traditional alpine draw configuration like the 60 cm's are perfect for). They're the only dynema runners I'm purchasing to replace my old ones.
Rock solid
Light, handles great, trusted my life to it and lived to write a 5 star review.
The best
Everybody knows that mammut contact slings are the best out there. Slippery, thin, and without any edges.
