Handle length
Most people think that longer handle slings are more versatile, but in fact, shorter handle slings are better suited for some tasks than longer ones. For example, a short handle sling is not the best choice when snow camping because you would need a long sling to keep your hands warm.
When snow camping, it is important to know how long your safetynet will be. The length of your safety net must be at least twelve feet long! That is why it is important to have a shortening rig tange with you when you go snow camping.
When snow camping, always remember that the weather depends on weather conditions. If the weather does not look good, or if it changes into something warmer, then you should make sure to have a longer safety net!
If you are going climbing or mountaineering, then another reason to have a shorter safety net is because people usually do not like to use the same one again and again.
Handle shape
These two narrow, tapered ends are called rig tinges. They make up the grip of the tangent. They create a handle shape that is more rounded or hand-friendly.
The rig tinge has a few options for shape. You can have a short, square rig tinge with thickened edges that look like a glove. You can have a long, tapered rig tinge with no distinct shape at all.
You can have ones with both ends equal in thickness and same length as the rest of the tangent. These are usually called roundrigs!
These shapes affect how you hold your tangent. The short, square rigs are better at holding small objects because the square ends are tighter than the rounded ones. The longer, tapered ones are better at holding larger objects because there is more space to work with.
