Mammut Magic Sling

The core-sheath design protects the load-bearing Dyneema core from abrasion and UV damage, which are the two primary factors that degrade climbing slings over time. This construction allows the sling to maintain its integrity longer than standard webbing when used against rough rock.

Traditional slings rely on sewn bar tacks, which are often the weakest point of the webbing. By eliminating these load-bearing seams, the Magic Sling achieves a higher knot strength and a more uniform distribution of force across the entire loop.

Yes, at 120 cm, this length is ideal for building equalized anchors at belay stations or extending protection points. Its 22 kN breaking strength meets the standard requirements for critical climbing safety gear.

The Magic Sling is significantly lighter and less bulky than nylon webbing, while offering better resistance to moisture and UV degradation. However, because it is made of Dyneema, it has a lower melting point, so you should be careful to avoid excessive friction or heat generated by rope movement.

While the sling is strong, the core-sheath construction is optimized for static loads rather than the high-friction, repetitive movement required for prusik hitches. For friction hitches, a dedicated accessory cord is generally a safer and more durable choice.
