DMM Nylon Loop Sling

The 26mm width provides a larger surface area, which helps distribute loads more effectively and reduces wear on the webbing when it comes into contact with rough surfaces or edges. This makes it particularly reliable for heavy-duty rigging tasks where durability is a priority.

While this sling is built to the high standards required for professional arboriculture rigging, its 22kN breaking strength and nylon construction make it fully capable of handling standard climbing applications. It is a versatile piece of gear that performs well in both environments.

The sewn construction ensures consistent, reliable strength across the entire loop. Unlike knots, which can weaken webbing significantly, the factory-sewn joint is engineered to maintain the sling's full rated breaking strength of 22kN.

Nylon is generally more abrasion-resistant and offers a bit more 'hand' or flexibility, making it easier to manipulate when setting up anchors. While it is heavier and bulkier than Dyneema, its durability and ease of handling make it a preferred choice for demanding rigging setups.

Yes, this sling is designed for versatile anchor configurations, including girth hitching. However, keep in mind that girth hitching a sling can reduce its overall strength by up to 50%, so always account for that reduction when calculating your load requirements.
