    I tried a yard test of the KoLA alu pieces.. They bent but didn't break. I wouldn't trust them on my hammock. I was using the stainless KoLAs but switched to the Ti version when the originals became available recently. Still using them on a Dynaglide CL, with a Dynaglide leader to Kevlar tree straps.

    Would be nice with a destructive test on Loop Aliens original small Ti LA:s.. I've used them for a while now, but like in a figure eight climbing rap configuration. Śeem to work fine. Not grounded yet
