In 2005 our traditional Nylon slings have also undergone a weight loss program. Still made from tube tape and kept in the range for those who still ask 'where's the beef?' our new 16mm Nylon slings are a chunky alternative to the skinny dyneema. Different materials have their advantages and disadvantages and Nylon tapes have a solidity and reliability second to none, with a longevity that will, in the main, outlast the thinner Dyneema tapes. Most obvious in these advantages is that the greater surface area will be more difficult to wear or abrade and therefore in the roughest situations, or over sharp edges, they will have more resistance. More simply their size gives a great visual confirmation of their strength, so for those just starting out or who are a bit more cautious in their approach the 16mm Nylon option can give re-assurance.
