I would have to say these are the best slings on the market. I always trust my life with Petzl products so maybe I am biased... but after using them many times I am still here!
This little sling is great for ascending. It is very small, but it is also very strong. I've had mine for forever now and it still hasn't broken. Great quality sling.

Looking at the thickness of this sling, that question certainly comes up. Most of my trad draws are made with these, they double up easily and are not cumbersome when extending them. After 2 seasons of climbing with these, they show little sign of wear, just a little fraying.

Uber light and great for extending trad gear or equalizing a top rope anchor. I would personally not sling chickenheads and other natural features with this, as it very narrow and can be sawed through(Bad) rather easily. Just use fatty webbing for that sort of thing.
These have their place on my rack as slings to hitch on to natural features while on lead or extending out anchor points and as runners for cutting down on rope drag. They are lightweight, not bulky on the harness, and smooth handling. They are pricier than nylon slings, so I carry cheaper/bulkier nylon slings if I'm setting up a top-rope anchor or looking to carry a sling to leave behind with a belay ring in a pinch.
We'll its a dyneema sling so if it hasn't broken it must be working. These things are light and the 60cm size is your standard for making trad draws. As always don't use for a personal anchor.
