Which suspension?

I'm planning on switching to whoopie slings as soon as I get my BB, would one of the standard suspensions make the conversion easier?

Thanks!

I think they are all just as easy and also very easy to switch out. I don't know why he just doesn't offer the WS as a suspension.

I have whoopies on both my HH and ENO. When I ordered my WBBB I got it w/the webbing as I figured I would just take a set of whoopies off one of the other two. Well I've changed my mind and will be staying w/the webbing. WB's webbing is lighter than the stuff I got from Strap Works and the new buckles (same as AHE sells) are unbelievable!! No need for a back up knot, they are that good! I would normally carry two 6' tree straps (total of 12') when using the whoopies so carring another 12-14 feet (minus the whoopies) is not a big deal and its faster IMO. So do what you want I'm going back to webbing.

mainly because of the labor intensive nature of hand splicing line.

Contract out the WS production?

If your single braid dyneema line that you use on your line/strap suspension is up to the task of being used as a whoopie sling, you could offer it as an option for the user to create their own whoopie slings. I think the amount needed for a 6' of adjustment whoopie sling is 14' of 7/64th Amsteel.
