Steel Aerial Silk - Low Stretch
Not sure how to tie the thingy onto the fabric? It's not a case of "If you can't tie knots tie lots!"
Let us keep you safe and do it for you.
Included in this convenient 2-piece pack:
- 1x Beautiful Aerial Silk in the colour of your choice. (30kN)
- 1x Steel Rescue 8 (50 kN)
- Rigged and ready to go!
Steel hardware is the strongest of the strong, making it perfect for studios and anyone wanting extra tough!
Remember to pair steel with steel otherwise it will eat your alloy.
Our low stretch fabric has been carefully selected for its texture (not too slippy, not too rough), it's thickness (because you need enough to grab but not too much) and of course its tensile strength. So as Goldilocks would say,
"It's just right!"
Here are some reasons why we love LOW stretch vs. MEDIUM stretch...
- Easier to climb.
- Easier to grip.
- Doesn’t cinch as tight in knots and wraps (so feel’s less ‘bite-ey’’).
- Easier to set the height in the case of Aerial Hammock/Sling.
- More supportive in the static poses explored in an Aerial Yoga context.
How to choose the correct fabric length:
Silks/Tissu:
1. Measure the distance from the floor to the attachment point, this is your drop!
2. Select the closest length keeping in mind you want your tails on the ground to have space for wraps.
*We calculated our drop lengths by multiplying the distance from floor to attachment by 2, then adding 1m for tails :)
*Custom Lengths Available ($21/m)
