These dive loops belong to me. My good friend who is a master riger made them up for me as I have big hands and my risers had small dive loops. the reason for them being constructed this way is to keep them open under canopy, so whilst setting up to swoop i don't have to take my eyes off the landing area. (safety issue) there is no conflict with the slider as the dive loops are made from type 12 webing like on you pilot chute bridle. they are soft and strong. i have done heaps of jumps with them and the slinks have never moved. they rock!!!
