Mammut Contact Sling

The primary difference is the material. This sling is made from 100% Dyneema, which is significantly lighter and stronger than nylon while also being water-resistant. It also features specialized contact stitching that provides better grip and handling, especially around the sewn seam.

Yes, with a breaking strength of 22.0 kN, it meets the standard requirements for climbing anchors. Its 2.4-meter length is particularly versatile for equalizing multi-point anchors on multipitch routes.

While thinner than traditional nylon slings, the Mammut Contact Sling is designed with optimized seam handling to improve grip. However, because it is narrower, it may feel different in your hands compared to wider webbing, so it is worth testing if you prefer a more substantial feel.

Dyneema is naturally hydrophobic, meaning it does not absorb water. This is a major advantage in alpine environments, as it prevents the sling from freezing stiff or becoming heavy and cumbersome when climbing in wet or snowy conditions.

The UIAA certification confirms that the sling meets rigorous international safety standards for climbing equipment. The Fair Wear certification indicates that Mammut adheres to ethical labor practices and safe working conditions throughout their manufacturing process.
