Dyneema has become extremely popular for its ability to cut sling weight and bulk without losing strength. The Omega Pacific Dyneema sewn sling is a fairly decent option for the climber seeking a medium width, Dyneema sling. At 12mm wide it is thinner than a traditional nylon sling and runs about the middle of the pack as far as Dyneema slings go. Though not the skinniest out there, it is still a step down in weight from a traditional, bulky nylon sling. We found that the sling's width and thickness made it one of the easiest slings we tested to untie a weighted knot. We also enjoyed the smooth handling and flexibility.
