Tubular Sling 16.0

Useful for a variety of climbing tasks, including safety tethers and building anchors. Feels solidly stitched, with no loose ends.

Nice and sturdy

Used this sling to make top rope anchors. It is sturdy and, so far, has held up really well to abrasion. I would recommend this sling to anyone.

Good sling, but not the lightest

This is a great sling if you're looking for nylon. Don't expect anything ultralight though.

Stiff, bulky, and durable

Do not buy these for alpine draws. Do not buy these as your only slings. These slings are stiff, bulky, and durable. They are fantastic for slinging natural pro and setting top rope anchors, especially if you want to extend over an edge. They are more resistant to snagging on crystals than normal nylon slings. They are too stiff to tie a klemheist.

Almost too bombproof of a sling

If you're on the market for a nylon sling, you might end up on this page right here. This sling is strong and resistant to abrasion. The only downside I'd say is the malleability. It's a bit too sturdy, making it a bit hard for the knots.

This sling feels quite sturdy but it's thick and sleek so it doesn't hold knots well. It's not a great sling for a PAS but may work well for other applications.

As with most other reviews I was a little surprised with how stiff these slings were. I bought one single and one double length just to try them out. Some say they carry the single over their shoulder which I imagine works great, it's just not a preference of mine to do that. Only other use for the single Ive found is to rack gear on to keep gear organized at home or occasionally to hang a hammock. I use the double as a personal anchor and to extend rappels but it is kind of quirky to rack on a harness. The only reason I use it is so that it doesn't go to waste, I would rather use a softer more flexible sling. In my opinion too stiff to be racked on a harness or as an alpine draw neatly, if you like putting slings over your shoulder I would imagine that works pretty well and is reasonably comfortable. At the end of the day this is a full strength sling that I'm sure has many good uses. I just haven't found any great ones for myself.

Bulky. Overbuilt. Perfect

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I got these slings on sale. Maybe because of the poor reviews? Anyways, yeah they are not good for alpine draws or your ultralight speed record on the Eiger or whatever. But for the rest of us... You put a simple overhand in the middle of this thing and bounce on/totally rip on it; you can easily untie that overhand. Because they are bulky and robust. A 120 has been living on my harness for several years now. It's my goto for extending my rappel device and supplementing simple gear anchors. Anything that involves tying a knot in the middle and abrasion. Who wants to stare at a thin-piece of spectra with your ATC and full body weight bouncing down a rappel? Then spend time trying to untie the knot in that spectra? No way man! This functions like those crazy expensive cord-type slings but without the 12" bar tack that gets stuck in your clove hitch. It also came on the market 5 years earlier.

Awesome

bought a few 120's and they are awesome. Super burly.

I love them for climbing and caving (...and climbing in caves)

All-around sturdy sling that holds up to some decent abuse / wear'n'tear. I use them at belay anchors, for my personal safety attachments, as shoulder slings for transporting gear, etc.
