Sling Size

I am trying to figure out advertised sling sizes. Many of the sewn slings are listed in CM's. do any of you know if that is the entire length of the webbing or is it the length of the sling tip to tip?

By way of example, Petzel offers a 60cm sling. 60 cm's is about 24 inches. it that sewn sling 12 inches or 24 inches?

If I want 2ft runners do I buy a 4ft sling?

Thanks

posted sling lengths are the total length of the loop, so a 60cm sling has 120cm of webbing (plus the overlap).

Thank you!

If you're looking for slings for over the shoulder or on alpine draws you're looking for 60cm

Yep

I use 60's for alpine draws (single)

I carry 2 120's for long slings (doubles)

I carry 2 240's for cordelettes (quads) - when doing trad multi-pitch
