Superlight but fantastically usable

Amazingly light and incredibly thin, 10mm Dyneema provides the 'cutting edge' to any rack where weight is at premium. This new kid on the block, only released in 2004, moved the game on from the brilliant 12mm Dyneema - has managed to lose another 25% of its weight but still be reliable enough for the real hardcore climber.

10mm Dyneema 30cm sling a brilliant, slightly longer extender.

Supplied in three lengths 30cm, 60cm, and 120cm the take up of these slings, received even more sceptically than 12mm due to its emaciated look, has been incredible. In a little under two years it is now selling 80% as much as 12mm dyneema, the market leader, something which was not anticipated at the time of its release.

60cm 10mm Dyneema sling. A great light long extender or short belay sling.

What this seems to show is that climbers are willing to embrace new technology which is seen to give an instant and understandable advantage, and that weight is the area which everyone understands. Simply if your rack is lighter, and your gear is the same strength, it should be easier to climb better.

So weighing in at only 16gms a metre but still with 22kn 3 Sigma rated breaking strain it's obvious we're looking at the lightweight champion.
