Eye-and-eye sling

A multi-leg bridle comprising:

• a plurality of flexible load bearing cores in the form of endless loops each comprising a plurality of windings of a strand of material, said endless loops each comprising a length including a first loop segment, a second loop segment, a first spanning segment extending between first ends of said first and second loop segments, and a second spanning segment extending between second ends of said first and second loop segments, wherein said first and second loop segments at least comprise substantially diametrically disposed portions of said endless loop;
• a common first cover covering said first loop segments of each of said plurality of endless loops and forming a master ring of said bridle, said first and second spanning segments of each of said plurality of endless loops being uncovered by said common first cover;
• a plurality of eye covers each covering one of said second loop segments of said plurality of endless loops and forming an eye of a leg of said bridle, said first and second spanning segments of each of said plurality of endless loops being uncovered by said plurality of eye covers;
• and
• a plurality of body covers each around both of said first and second spanning segments of one of said plurality of endless loops and comprising a body portion of a leg of said bridle between said eye and said master ring, each of said body covers comprising an interior surface in direct facing relationship with said strand of material windings of said first and second spanning segments of the endless loop it covers.
