Life expectancy of Whoope Sling

Funny you should mention ( winch ). Just told my wife this morning, I should order some 1/8 inch for my ATV winch, I think it would work great: rated to 2500 lbs I believe.

Go bigger than 1/8 as you need to think double of what you might be stuck in..I would go at least 1/4th for the atv. You can always rig your pull with a Z line set up or double or tripple line pull,,increases your pulling power with pulleys

3/16 rated at 4900 pounds is usually sufficient for a quad. If you are getting into something like a Ranger, then maybe 1/4.

UV exposure will have an effect on them as well as wear.

I read somewhere that a pure Dyneema braid left out in the open for 12 months will lose half its strength due to UV degredation.

I imagine this probably has more effect than mechanical wear.

I have no direct experience with uncoated dyneema, but the fiber itself is already fairly UV stable.

i had a set that had over 75 nights outside on them that i had to swap out... they could have gone another 20 night or even more but they started to stretch around the burry ... so i replaced them

i know ppl that have them on for years ... it all depends on how well you take care of them and the conditions they are in IE rain,sun,snow you name it...
