Last year Palm Equipment launched the new Snake Sling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Palm<\/p>\n

The Palm Snake Sling<\/a> is a 4m length of tape with sewn ends allowing the sling to be used in various different ways when you add a carabiner into the mix. What I really like is the fact that the sewn loops have been created in such a way that it is super easy to get a karabiner in\/out of without high risk of snagging. I have a number of pieces of climbing kit with this setup and know that it works really well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Palm have had the Snake Sling<\/a> manufactured by a very well known UK based climbing firm. I have used loads of their gear and is my first choice for climbing protection kit.<\/p>\n

The tape used is similar to that used for yellow Palm Safety Tape<\/a> except the Snake Sling<\/a> is red with loops sewn in both ends and Safety Tape has only one sewn loop and is yellow. I’ve used the both the Safety Tape<\/a> and Snake Sling<\/a> on a couple of training sessions carrying out short distant reduce of swimmers, towing kayaks and using one as part of a pig rig\/z-drag system. It has simply been superb. I know you could go out and buy a length of climbing tape and use that, in fact I have several but it is the Snake Sling<\/a> and Safety Tape<\/a> that have a home in my PFD.<\/p>\n
