5 Wild Country 12mm Dyneema Sling Review

Reviewer: Lorne Cameron, Chamonix.   (9-8-2011)

As another reviewer said, the 12mm feels a bit more reassuring than an 8 or 10mm, even if the ratings are the same I just feel a bit more comfortable on this slightly wider version as a cows tail while belaying/etc.

The Dyneema sling what a product, lightweight, colourful, with many different uses. With the variety of different sizes gives the flexibility to do so much. The 240 is a big sling and I don’t tend to carry the 240 on my harness as it is bulky but for setting up top ropes and anchors out of reach it is perfect. Defiantly prefer Dyneema and well worth having on your rack.

These slings are the one stop shop for slings in my opinion. The 12mm width just gives that little extra in confidence which is great. The 60cm sling is perfect for over the shoulder use as a second, just to clip all the leaders gear onto. It’s also great as an extendable sling with 2 crabs on either end for multi pitch climbing. The 120 is perfect for spikes/threads or for equalising 2 anchors. The 240 is amazing for large blocks/chocks or threads that are out of reach.

The price of them is reasonable, and no more than competitors such as DMM. I would certainly pick these over any 10mm slings out there!

Great set of slings, I personally prefer the 12mm dyneemas over the 10mm, they feel a bit thicker and look a hell of a lot more safe!

The 60mm is the perfect size for racking gear on, for general anchor building and setting up running belays from, every mountaineer should carry a handful of them! I've found the dyneemas don't take as much water on if used in slushy conditions keeping them lighter than nylon through the day.
