Aerial Silks - Medium Stretch - 150cm width
Perfect for studios, performers, and aerial enthusiasts, Firetoys aerial silks (also known as aerial fabric, tissus, or ribbons) are crafted with unmatched quality and durability. These UK-made silks offer a reliable grip, high safety standards, and a beautiful sheen under stage lighting, making them ideal for performances and rigorous studio use.
Key Features:
- Dimensions & Material: 150cm wide, 75 denier, 100% polyester with medium stretch.
- Durable, Ladder-Resistant Fabric: The durable weave resists laddering and tearing, and the non-slip textured finish provides enhanced grip, perfect for challenging climbs.
- Optimal for Advanced Moves: Medium-stretch fabric offers slight bounce, cushioning impacts from drops, and is ideal for intermediate to advanced moves. (Note: Climbing requires more energy than with low-stretch silks, presenting a good challenge for building strength.)
Important Specifications:
- Total Length: Please note that the length listed is the full fabric length; as silks are rigged from the center, the working length will be just under half.
-
Safety Certifications: UK-made and rigorously tested at independent, certified facilities.
- Working Load Limit (WLL): 128kg
- Factor of Safety (FOS): 7:1 (WLL is based on deformation, not destruction).
Care Tips:
- Avoid Excessive Friction During Slack Drops: High-energy slack drops can generate heat, leading to small melted patches due to friction. Regular inspection and proper technique can extend the life of your silks.
- Note on Stretch: The medium-stretch quality may slightly reduce over time but continues to provide a safe, reliable grip.
