Why a PAS and not a daisy chain?

Daisy chain advantages:
- Lighter
- Longer (hence allows more flexibility)
- Absorbs some dynamic load (nylon): http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/climbing-slings-reviews/buying-advice (it could even work like a screamer???)
- CHEAPER.
- Prevents that hollow feeling you get after you realise you've been sucked in by marketing spin.

Daisy chain disadvantages:
- Potential to clip through unrated loop (requires user to expend energy to utilise brain)

A PAS/Daisy chain by itself isn't much use without something to clip into. A cordolette does the job but it's bulky and heavy. I suggest spending your money on a web-o-lette with a sewn loop in each end before a PAS.

A daisy chain and web-o-lette weigh about half what a PAS and cord-o-lette does.
