Amsteel (Dyneema cord) is great for a range of purposes such as hammock camping and kayaking, but perhaps most widely known for its use in making whoopie slings – a lightweight hammock suspension solution. When made into whoopie slings, this is a fantastic modification for anyone looking to reduce the pack weight of their hammock.

What is Amsteel?

• Made from Dyneema SK75 with Samthane Coating - very hard wearing
• 8-strand single braid construction
• Size for size same strength as wire rope, yet only 1/7 of the weight: outlasts wire rope in tests
• Flexible, easy to handle and easily field spliced

Specifications

• Size: 1m long, 2.5mm diameter
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 5g per metre
• If made into whoopie slings, is compatible with all DD hammocks – weight limit 125kg
