Used once performed perfectly.

Used it for one day out so far, ended up mostly using the sling as opposed to a rope. Performed well, packs up nice and small, nice bright yellow. Trustworthy product.

Confidence inspiring quad sling

I carry a couple of these as my go to for setting up trad anchors on short-ish routes where weight is not an issue. They do fray more than my dynema slings but the 16mm nylon is definitely confidence inspiring when hooking outcrops or threading.

New favourite sling

Lets get this straight - they're wide and they're fat.

But, they're nylon so they come in cool colours. They're also cheap, so while the cost of slings shouldn't bother any of us if we had to leave it behind in an abseil, I definitely won't be. Plus they come in super size. Useful for big trees.

About handling - they're smooth and really nice to handle. If you tie it, the knot will be big but it shouldn't be a problem for most things. I don't know about the longevity yet. I'll edit the review at a later date.
