It is the weight of the load that prevents the length from changing by slipping in the device. It is pretty easy to shorten the tether if you can unweight it a bit (maybe just hauling up on it if your feet are touching the stone); otherwise you would have to lift all of your own weight when pulling on the free end of the rope in the tether. Pretty much the same with lengthening. The design allows lengthening only when a serious load, such as a fall weight, is applied. That's the point, because it reduces forces by slipping. It doesn't really need a 9 mm cord (which is hard to find); 8 mm works well, it will just slip with a little less force applied. Try it in your garage to see. **Q: Description says black, item pictured is yellow. What color would I receive if I were to purchase this item?** A: I ordered the blue one and it came as blue. **Q: Is the Kong slide the version retired by Kong, with a size less wide?** A: Mine looks/weighs, etc. exactly like the current one on the Kong website. Not aware there was a size less wide. Works great for me though as is. I've used it multipitching with a 7mm and 8mm (8 is what's recommended, but 7 worked fine for me) rope for my second anchoring into the wall and love it's adjustability and ease. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clever, if unorthodox, device *by T***K on September 23, 2016* This thing is pretty amazing, but it sure shakes people up when you put it to use. If it isn't clear how it works: the section of 9 mm cordage (8 mm works, too, and it might result in slightly lower forces in case of a fall, plus it's easier to find) that you use presses on itself and locks the distance from your belay loop carabiner (where the Slyde clips) to the end of the rope that ties to another carabiner that gets clipped to the anchor. You clip that carabiner to the top anchors of a climb, so the rig serves the same purpose as a daisy chain except that it is fully adjustable without unclipping. A small benefit is that you can quickly and easily adjust and readjust the length of your tether without ever being untethered. And there's no chance that you could accidentally clip between two adjacent pockets of an old-style daisy chain, which substantially reduces its strength, should that strength be called upon. The big benefit is that falling on your Slyde tether does not abruptly load the anchors as would be the case if you were using a Dyneema daisy chain. The Dyneema daisy chain has no give, so it's about the same as being died to the anchors with a wire cable and that translates to the possibility of very high forces applied to the anchor with even a short fall. Accordingly, Black Diamond makes their daisy chains out of nylon, which would add a small amount of give. But the Slyde deliberately allows the rope to slip a bit and so substantially reduces any sudden force. Kong has worked this out with the gear they make for viaferrata, where falls on tethers are a big worry and all modern systems have some built-in slip to reduce abrupt forces. The Slyde is a very clever device, just be sure you understand how to use it and set it up correctly. Wouldn't hurt to test it in the safety of your garage over a bouldering pad 8-)UPDATE: I've seen a number of examples of the Slyde being used incorrectly, so I thought I'd update my review to show the correct way to rig it. The official cordage size is 9 mm, but that's hard to find unless you cut up a rope. 8 mm actually works fine. You can jump around as hard as you like while hanging from it without causing any slippage. Make the cord long enough so that you can extend the top carabiner as far as you can reach, but no farther. Petzl makes a similar device called the Connect, but it lives at the end of the cord at the top carabiner while the other end of the cord girth hitches to your harness. It looks somewhat more convoluted, and it costs $50. The Slyde rules! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good seller *by A***R on April 1, 2024* Fast shipping. Great product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, works great *by M***C on November 4, 2016* Awesome, works great! Best with ropes closer to 9mm. I tried using my 9.8 and it's way too big to easily adjust. ## Frequently Bought Together - KONG Slyde Adjustable Sling , Black - BLACK DIAMOND Rocklock Screwgate Locking Carabiner for Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Rappelling, Work - BLACK DIAMOND Hotforge Screwgate Locking Carabiner 3 Pack for Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Camping, Outdoor, --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/15197472-kong-slyde-adjustable-sling-black](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/15197472-kong-slyde-adjustable-sling-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
