Multiple Loops (Daisy Chain/PAS): Slings made up of many small loops sewn one after the other, like a chain. They allow you to easily adjust your distance from the rock by clipping your carabiner into a closer or farther loop.
Sewn: Simple, single circular strips of fabric, factory-sewn at their ends. They come in standard lengths and create an anchor point where no fixed infrastructure exists.
Express (Dogbone): Short, thick, and stiff slings (usually from 10 to 25 cm) with two pre-sewn loops at their ends for carabiners. They keep the rope away from the rock to prevent abrasion and zig-zagging, reducing friction as you climb.
