Unusual sewn slings made of 6mm Aramid cord.
Aramid has a significantly higher breaking strength for its weight compared with more conventional slings.
Aramid is spun as a multifilament by a proprietary process developed by DuPont. Aramid fibres have good resistance to abrasion and organic solvents do not start to melt or burn until they reach 500°C. Kevlar, much used in body armour, is one example of an aramid.
Because they are made from quite stiff cord, they are excellent for thread placements.
