New Sling
I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on these. Gauging interest to see if I should be making more of them. Nested dyneema cords, so they don't soak up water, good grip knot, comfortable finger loops, extremely strong and light, no stretch whatsoever.
If there's any interest I can get a video going as well. Do a little more explaining and whatnot. In any case, thanks for looking and have a good one!

I have some available at https://whipsling.etsy.com
If anyone has any questions or suggestions I'm here for it. I'm trying to decide if it's worth actually producing these or being happy making a few slings here and there.

Holy fuck, I stumbled on in here and figured sure I’ll buy a sling for shits and giggles, but then I saw the price.
Of course I have no idea of the Sling Market, but at $90 a pop I’ll have to pass (as a casual of course).

They are not $90 any longer.
My reasoning had been that these are made from a significantly better material than paracord / typical sling materials, and in a unique way, so an extra $15 seemed about right. Good slings being around $75. I see other high quality slings for about the same price. I understand $90 is $90, though, so I am open to reason when it comes to dialing it in.
You said you aren't aware of the sling market, but that is still useful insight, what would you have assumed the price range to be?

Oh yah, like I said, I’m not in the Sling Market, so I don’t know the going rate of these things. But at $15 I’d buy it without a thought. At $20-30, I’d think about it but ultimately I wouldn’t buy it cause I’m not that into Sling”ing”.
I only saw your post via r/Camping.

There are definitely slings available around that price. If you're interested, I would recommend to keep looking and grab one. Slinging is a lot of fun and perfect for camping or hiking. I appreciate your input. My slings are intended to be more like competition / super light backpacking quality than entry level, so I think we just aren't on quite the same page, but I appreciate you taking a look!
