Blue Slackline Webbing

Description

Introducing the all new Blue slackline webbing from Balance Community. Blue is a lightweight, low stretch, polyester webbing with excellent hand and feel.

A tightly woven surface provides excellent abrasion resistance and grip on both faces.

Bi-color design on the face provides an easy way to detect twists on longer lengths.

A soft and fluffy edge design allows for easy handling on longer lines and during catches or leash falls.

Designed and inspected in Lyons, CO. Manufactured in Taiwan.

Pillowed Edges for Friendly Catches

Get the feeling of those pillows between your feet!

One of the most advanced features of Blue is the Pillowed Edges. The internals on the edge construction are made from 100% nylon fibers which stay loose even when the webbing is under tension. This allows the edges to be pliable and malleable while the line is tight, which gives the edges a pillow-feel, molding under your hands and feet when you grab and walk on the line. This feature makes Blue a true pleasure to interact with.

Unlike some of our other pillowed edge webbings, Blue remains the same thickness across the entire width, giving a very flat feeling under the foot. When dealing with nothing but the feeling of the line under your foot, these subtle nuances can make a big difference in the way a line feels to walk. Blue really capitalizes on that with a flat feel while retaining the benefits of the Pillowed edge.

Vibrant Color Scheme

With only white and blue as the colors, Blue makes it look fancy!

Blue uses just two colors for its design: blue and white. With these two colors, we've combined them in a way to make Blue look very complex and intricate. This color scheme is very pleasant to look at while cruising a big line, and is quite visible with the sky or mountains as the backdrop.

Stretch

A gentle and smooth stretch curve makes Blue great for longlines.

With a mere 4.55% stretch at 6 kN, Blue has a very low stretch, making it ideal for longline applications. If tensions remain below 5 kN, the stretch curve is even more subtle, giving you the maximum ease of rigging.

Due to the lower stretch of Blue, it is recommended to only use it for highlines longer than 50m.
