Designed for sport climbers and gym enthusiasts, the PETZL Express Sling 17 cm streamlines clip setup and handling across routes. Its ergonomic shape invites confident grip, helping you move smoothly from hold to hold while keeping your gear compact and ready for action.

Ergonomic grip for confident movement

The webbing is wider in the center, creating a natural, comfortable grip as you pull on the draw. This design supports precise carabiner placement during clipping, which can feel steadier in demanding sections of a route.

• Variable-width webbing enhances grip where it matters most
• Facilitates smoother clipping through dynamic moves

Protection and stability you can feel

The lower end arrives with the STRING rubber protector, which holds the carabiner in place for stable clipping and shields the wear zone of the tape. This feature helps minimize wear during frequent use and reduces the chance of misclips in busy sequences.

• Pre-installed STRING protector stabilizes the carabiner
• Protects the tape wear area during repeated clips

Durability meets lightness

Constructed from robust polyester webbing, the sling balances strength with a light feel, making it easy to carry on longer sessions without adding unnecessary bulk to your rack.

• Rugged enough for daily training and indoor routes
• Lightweight design supports extended use
