Where's the discussion on MP? I can't find it. I do see the annual "Does Dynema wear out fast" discussion is started up. That does remind me, it's time to get new slings...
What you said does make sense . I see, in 6 and 7. It says it can … by up to two kn. It does not say it will. That statement is there to protect the manufacturer. The tests they ran were probably inconclusive. That is why they do not give a definitive.

I almost always attach a shoulder sling to them anyways so I’m wondering why add an extra potential point of failure. The only reason I can think of is ease of racking. Anyone know any other reason the sling needs to be there.
Ok. So just cut your slings off and climb with them. When (if) you get too annoyed, ship them off to Yates to sew new slings back on.
I also put double loops on my cams and love the flexibility.
Yates did these for me a few years ago for a couple of bucks a piece. They are 14mm nylon/dyneema blend. 6inches retracted, 18 inches extended. I rarely have to use draws on these. which frees up more draws for my small cams and passive pro.
