TFTC #53 Built for the Rig: Rope Logic Streaked Rigging Slings
Sherrilltree Sep 5th 2025You’re mid-job, high in the canopy, and the next chunk of wood needs to swing clear of a fence and land clean. You loop your sling, choke it around the spar, and run the rope through your lowering device — smooth, fast, no knots. That’s the moment a well-made rigging sling earns its place in your kit. It’s not just about strength — it’s about trust, speed, and control when it matters most.
New to the U.S., the Rope Logic-Streaked Rigging Slings are engineered for serious rigging with standout performance and durability. These bright, color-coded slings don’t just look good — they’re coated for abrasion resistance and hand-spliced with serious care. Made with Sterling Streaked hollow braid and crafted by the pros at Rope Logic, they bring dependable performance and next-level craftsmanship to the North American canopy.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes these slings so special, and why they’ve become a staple for professional rigging crews.
What Makes Sterling Streaked Slings Stand Out?
Each sling is built from Sterling Streaked, a high-performance, purpose-built rigging line with features that matter:
- The hollow braid construction offers up a flatter profile, which means the slings keep their high strength and low stretch but still stay flexible enough for easy installation across a wide range of rigging setups.
- Unique vivid color patterns for each diameter make it easy to grab the right size at a glance.
- Solution-dyed fiber means the ropes retain their colors even after heavy, extended use.
- A polymer coating provides abrasion resistance and helps the rope glide without snagging.
- Available in 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" diameters depending on the sling type.
“Streaked slings are super strong and durable. The material is really abrasion-resistant compared to other hollow braid ropes. I love the attention to detail with the hand splicing — you can tell each splice has been made as if it was the splicer’s own”. – Terry Banyard
