Mammut works hard each year to make its Dyneema Contact Sling lighter without taking away any of its strength. Like most slings, Mammut made it out of super strong and light Dyneema, but unlike most slings, Mammut's Contact stitching technique ensures optimum handling and strength throughout the sling, even in the seam area. This makes it ready to please you whether you're sending sandstone, climbing crack, cranking ice, or alpine climbing your way to the top.

Soft and great feel in the hand combined with the covered bar tack = only Dyneema sling I use. After using these I move all my other Dyneema slings to the dog kits. Great for trad slings.

Use them for all my alpine draws. Combine it with a pair of Camp Nano 22s for an extremely light draw. They handle well, except sometimes the stitching is annoying when racking.

Light weight. Low bulk. Great handling. Get yourself some of these slings. Put the 60s on your alpine draws. Grab a couple of 120s for long extensions and slinging natural pro. Throw out your cordalette and build your anchors with a 240.

I use these slings for climbing alpine routes in the cascades. The seamless stitch design is supposed reduce snagging, but instead makes for more snags due to 150% longer area of inflexibility at the sewn attachment point. This causes a messy rack that catches on other gear etc. worse is when cleaning you’re fighting to get the carabiner to not come in contact with the sewn portion. These slings will not give you the warm fuzzy feeling of safety if they’re not extended out in single strand mode . In the pic note the neatness of the one season old trango with the newer mammut made in China mess. Yes, I’ll use these for a season and see if they get better but I certainly would steer clear of them unless you’re short of cash and can buy them for cheaper than anything else on the market.

My mom loves these 8mm Mammut Dyneema slings! She has 12 of the 60mm that she uses for alpine draws for trad climbing. I just purchased her 6 more. She likes the 8mm thickness-less bulk. They handle well when I am extending them while trad climbing.....which is awesome.

Mammut always delivers! The best sling. The covered seam is a great.

Got this sling to pseudo re-sling a cam of mine. I like these slings specifically because they have the seams covered by the tag, making them less likely to snag.

The 60cm size is really nice for alpine draws--they're thin and 'slick' and the seam stitching makes them run through the carabiners smoothly. The 180cm size--which is not a common size--is perfect for setting up a quad anchor on multipitch routes with bolted hangers. I think I read that off the comments on here, and it's true.

Buy these when they go on sale on Backcountry, whether you are a sport climber or a fully realized trad sender, having multiple of these is always useful!

Use this from any where to building anchor systems and alpine draws to using it in a z drag system for boating. Can trust this sling for a multitude of purposes and you should definitely find it in your gear assortment.

I am very satisfied with my repeat orders of Mammut Dyneema slings. I use the 60cm slings for each of my alpine draws, and the 180cm as an available anchor sling. The fabric is difficult to tangle and racks easily.

These are by far the best quality, and smoothest handling slings on the market. They lay really nice and flat when you are making your alpine quick-draws. It is the only sling that has the tag sewn integrated into the bar-tac stitching, making it one less thing to worry about. Highly recommended

I got the 60 cm for alpine draws and the 120s for anchors. I love how lightweight and narrow these are without compromising on strength-I can thread them through a v thread when setting up a toprope on ice :D Way easier to clean than trying to untie cord. My favorite slings I have used thus far!

I used to think all slings were created equal until I found this Mammut sling. At the area where the sling is connected and stitched together to itself, there is no excess material outside of the stitching to get snagged. The sling stitching is amazing! Also, these are very lightweight. Would definitely recommend!

Obviously these slings are going to perform at a high level, there is no question about it. Something I was impressed about was how lightweight they are! I imagined that they would be wide and bulky but they are actually quite thin and light which makes them perfect for making lightweight alpine draws. These are great and I would definitely buy them again and recommend them to anyone.

I've had a number of these for years and love them. They're a nice durable sling that is supple and holds up well. I've got the following: 60cm - 6+ of these for alpine draws 120cm - 3 of these for quick anchors and extending pro at roofs 240cm - 1 of these for quad anchors One of the nicest features is the seam where the two ends are overlapped and sewn together are covered with a sleeve so there is no catching when a biner is sliding over them.

My friend uses these for her alpine draws so i went ahead and got some too to build mine. I picked these because the Mammut tag covers the seam to keep that from getting caught on anything or in the way. The Dyneema that Mammut uses is more supple and easier to manage while in the middle of a climb. I went for the 60cm to build my draws.

After years of using sewn nylon runners, I decided to try a more lightweight Dyneema sling for my anchoring system. The feel of Mammut Contact slings is great. The sewn edges are smooth instead of having an edge and they take up so little space compared to the old slings.
