Really You think 8mm is too thin? Many people use this size (8mm and still 22kN) becouse the 10mm is not as clear and thin after making it triple shorter with this method. And Positron is nice, but its on the heavier side. Im using two wiregate biners ~34 gram each (WC Nitro - and they still are full sized) , It makes this draw really light - what matters on trad routes in the mountains. You can also use two smaller size biners like BD Oz or WC Astro but i preffer bigger, friendly sizes as well
@northaunt Thanks for the great comment! I really do think 8mm is too thin. The decrease in abrasion resistance and durability is not worth it. Those 8mm slings are for alpine settings where light weight is absolutely crucial. I think many overplay the importance of light weight gear when trad climbing single or multi pitch. Carry less cams and run it out! haha. I like the Positron because of the size and keylock nose. It slides off slings and wires easily. I agree on the big biners.
@SmileDudeMusic Thanks!!

I would not risk my life on 8mm or even 10mm.
