The line has 3 parts:
1) Webbing,
2) Anchor Sling with OWL lock
3) Ratchet with Slow Release.
In addition you will find 4 x Tree / Webbing Protection Sleeves to keep your line and anchor safe and give it extra life in a sustainable manner for your gear and the environment.
Beginner usage:
The line has a light weight and durable ratchet for those who wish to put a little tension in the slackline while walking. The ratchet comes attached to a built in Slow release which attaches to the OWL lock on the anchor. Since the ratchet is small in size, it can only tension your line to a limited amount. To add additional tension, you can use the slow release to put extra tightness on the line.
Intermediate usage:
For those of you who have picked up and leveled up your skill, this line packs a little surprise for you. You can use the line without the ratchet as a rodeo line. the OWL lock built in on the anchor sling has a simple and easy to use mechanism to adjust hand tension on the rodeo line.
This line weighs under 2 kgs in total, including your tree protection. Perfect light weight travel companion.
The webbing we use in this line is the same as the AW line - Polyester, soft and stretchy with an MBS of 25 KN
Just yesterday, I went and rigged it up on a highline for the very first time. Here is my take back from it.

This webbing that I have gotten manufactured, was break-tested by me in the factory and it broke above 25 KN. Including the Sewn Loops. This isn't on the highest side, however internationally there are some really popular webbings that we highline on who have an MBS of 22/23KN and Sewn Loop strength of 20.4
Having no doubt that this was safe enough to highline, and having complete trust in my rigging skills and knowledge, I went out for a mission. All of yesterday was spent bouncing and playing around on the line.
Con's:
Pro's:
Over all:
- Ideal for learning longline walking.
- fun to freestyle on, give a good stretch.
- Great for back up on a highline
- Decent for main highlines. There are sharper webbing out there, there are also softer ones.
