I was planning on doing an analysis on the pros and cons of using nylon vs. dyneema slings, but I happened on this useful article in an old issue of Climbing. Confirms what most of us know already. Dyneema has more advantages, but it’s always nice to have a nylon sling or two for certain applications.
Going light (dyneema)
Sharp rock with cutting potential (dyneema)
cold and wet terrain (dyneema)
Bail sling (nylon)
Girth hitch/overhand knot strength (nylon)
