Discover Climbing Straps
Climbing belts are essential equipment for all climbers, whether beginners or experienced. They enable you to create secure anchors and connect different elements of your equipment. At alpinstore.com, you'll find a wide selection of climbing belts from top brands like Millet, Ortovox and Ferrino. Whether you need a sturdy tubular webbing or a versatile flat webbing, we've got you covered.
How to choose your climbing sling?
Choosing the right sling is crucial to your climbing safety. Traditional climbers often carry extra sections of webbing to make customized slings. Webbing is available in bulk, spools or individual sections, and can be purchased by the meter. It's important to consider which type of webbing best suits your specific needs.
Webbing types and widths
There are two main categories of webbing used in climbing: tubular webbing and flat webbing. Tubular webbing is the standard, thanks to its greater strength and durability than flat webbing. In terms of width, tubular webbing generally comes in 1 inch and 5/8 inch, while flat webbing is available in various widths up to 2 inches.
Materials and technical specifications
All bulk straps are made from nylon, a material renowned for its robustness. If you plan to make your own slings, we recommend using a suitable knot such as the water knot, with a sufficiently long tail to ensure safety in use. Technical specifications vary between those suitable for climbing and those for military use, so it's essential to choose the one that's right for you.
