I wanted to give some praise to DMM, and thought this a good place to put it.
I partially cut the dynema on a shiny new Chimera draw whilst taking it apart. I left DMM a message about this and got a call back from a Nick Thomas.
Within the space of a short conversation, Nick showed the knowledge, experience and consideration that goes into their R&D. He explained how they'd lighten up the slings and redesigned the captive eye, using it to protect the thinner sling. Also, how damage to different parts of the sling had differing severity, depending on its location. And, given where I tore the sling, it should be cut up and they'd replace it, thank you kindly! We talked on a bit about kit, which was yet more educational for the likes of me.
So, DMM FTW - top design, production and service.
