Anyone had any experience widh a Canadian company called "On Sight"?
They make a lot of nylon and dyneema products. In particular has anyone used any of the dyneema slings?

Thanks,
Dan

All my slings are by On-Sight. I am very happy with them, especially the dyneema. Not quite as rugged as the nylon ones, but durable none-the-less.
I would definetly buy more if I needed them.

I was just talking to Peder about 15 minutes ago. On Sight makes great slings... the new thin dyneema looks like it should be pretty nice.

I have a dozen or so shoulder length and a few double shoulder Onsight slings. A friend of mine has an Onsight rope bag. I would give them a thumbs up for a quality product line.

I've got a few...bought them this year. I like them, but I noticed a fray in one of them last night. Curious, has any one else noticed any frays in theirs? How long had you had them before it happened? How bad was the fray (mine was only one fold of thread)? And when did you decide to retire them?
