Perfect for 60cm slingdraws

I got these for sling draws, as the standard 11mm dyneema slings are a little bulky, wheras the 8mm sits a bit nicer on the krabs. I'm very happy with them as slingdraws / threads / small tree runners and they now live on my harness for that purpose. The 8mm is a great middle ground between standard 11mm and super skinny but scary 6mm (I have some of those and am nervous of using them!)
Light but short-lasting

These slings are, in my opinion, really only useful for alpine-style climbing as they are very light but also quick to wear away. The plastic sleeve over the sewing prevents this to a great extent, but I am now on my second batch and don't really use them that regularly. I have used them for Limestone climbing as well, where threads are often small, but the forces over such a small are are so large that I wouldn't really trust such a runner anyway.

On the plus side, they are extremely good at what they do; keeping weight to a minimum and allowing you to make really fast ascents. Its only a few grams saved but it all adds up and that's why I currently own two of these.
