A flexible tension member, or sling, useful as a line to hoist, lower or suspend something or as a tension loaded part of a structure or device has eyes at both of its ends for attachment to other parts or loads. The sling is comprised of a plurality of strands of cord extending between its opposite ends and twisted to form two side-by-side ropes of opposite twist direction. The various cord strands may be part of a single endless cord and the eyes at the opposite ends of the sling may have end fittings with thimbles for efficiently transferring loads from the cord strands to the end fittings.
