Dynatec has several advantages over traditional nylon webbing. It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio, is less susceptible to UV degradation and has greater abrasion resistance, making Dynatec an ideal material for creating lightweight quickdraws.

It also absorbs less water than nylon – an important consideration for winter climbing. The sling's slim profile allows it to be used for narrow threads and to sit better on marginal spike placements.
