PETZL Express Sling 25 cm – Ergonomic Quickdraw with String Protector

Ergonomic quickdraw for sport climbing

The PETZL Express Sling 25 cm is a compact quickdraw designed for route work, featuring an ergonomic grip with a wider center. This design aims to provide a comfortable, confident hold when pulling on the draw and clipping along demanding sequences.

The lower end comes pre-equipped with the PETZL STRING rubber webbing protector. This feature helps hold the carabiner in place for stable clipping and shields the wear zone from abrasion, potentially extending the life of the sling during repeated use on sport routes.

Key design points

• Ergonomic grip: variable-width webbing offers a comfortable, secure hold for pulling on the draw.
• String included: protects the wear zone and stabilizes clipping with the lower carabiner.
• Durable construction: robust polyester webbing balances weight and durability for sport climbing.
• Strength ratings: rated to 22 kN breaking strength; CE EN 566 and UIAA certified.
• Versatile lengths: available in 11 cm, 17 cm, and 25 cm to suit different route profiles.

Real-world use and benefits

On a gym wall or crag, climbers may notice smoother clips and improved control when drawing on the anchor. The protective string and wear-respecting construction translate into a reliable quickdraw for frequent clipping and route progression.

Choosing the 25 cm model works well for standard rope work on many routes, while the shorter options offer compact setups for tighter pitches. This range lets you tailor quickdraws to your preferred style and route characteristics.

What to expect

These quickdraws are built to support regular sport climbing and practice sessions. While not a guarantee of results, the ergonomic grip, protective string, and durable build provide a dependable option for routine clipping tasks.
