DIY Whoopie Slings - Fiber Stretch?

**bigfanboy** · 12-06-2013, 18:46

I want to start off with, I am 310-315 depending on the time of day.

I have some 7/64 Amsteel Blue DIY Whoopie slings that after 15 or so nights are showing sign of fiber stretch where the bury comes out for the adjustable loop.

Is this normal?

Because I am of "larger size" should I go to the next size up?

Happens commonly to slings. Just be sure to milk that bury well each time you adjust and your good.

In addition to what's been said, the fibers aren't actually stretched, the braid is displaced to allow the exit. You're good to go.

Thanks, I can tell that Whoopies are easy to get and get wrong.

I did the brommel on a fix loop wrong recently, luckily I saw it and fixed it before I attached and hung it.
