Star Rating | |||||
Pros | Low weight, very thin, handles great, affordable | Very light, low bulk, easy to manipulate, very small bar tack | Light weight, low bulk, knots untie relatively easily, affordable | Covered sewn bar tack, thin and light | Low price, light weight despite width, small bar tack |
Cons | Weighted knots harder to untie than thicker slings | High price, harder than some to untie knots | Not as soft a handle as other top scorers | Expensive, rubberized covering adds weight and feels weird sliding through hands | Abrasive edges, wide for the weight |
Bottom Line | Our Editors’ Choice winner because it is lighter and more compact than any other without compromising performance | A sling that outperforms the competition, but also costs a lot more… | One of the highest value options that we tested | A solid performer that is slightly heavier, bulkier, and costlier than other top performers | One of the best value purchases available for a climbing sling |
