Why We Like The Nylon Sewn Runners
There's no doubt you've seen Black Diamond's Nylon Sewn Runners on the mountains while climbing, tied to chickenheads, slung around trees, and bleached by the sun. That's because climbers trusted these smooth, colorful, and durable slings before colorful spandex was a thing in the vertical world. The question you have to ask yourself is, do you trust the old, manky runner already attached to the wall, or do you bring a spare to bail off of when the route gets too serious? We recommend the latter.

Who needs fancy runners..
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Basic runner that is affordable and way better than making your own with water knots like back in the day.

Durable and light sling. Can be purposeful in so many ways. If I'm not using it when climbing, I have it attached as a sling to carry my rope bag. Great product! Bought the blue 120 cm.

The blue 120cm is my favorite
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Compared to other slings, very light, supple, smooth. The blue 120cm has become my favorite all-around sling/anchor/etc for alpine stuff, just really good size and feel

Good quality for the price
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Good quality. It does what it is supposed to be. I don't know why the picture makes it look like the middle part is tied together like a dogbone on a quickdraw, but it is a circular nylon sling.
