Description
This is the single length pieces of Paradigm Signature. If you are looking for a Freestyle Kit, you can see them here: Paradigm Signature Freestyle Kits
We set out with a clear goal: To make the best freestyle highline webbing imaginable.
Now, after a year of testing, and multiple prototypes later, we believe we have finally hit our mark.
In collaboration with Ian Eisenberg, Balance Community is truly proud to present:
Paradigm Signature: A custom Paradigm rig, fine-tuned and optimized to meet Ian Eisenberg's exact specifications. More Stretch. 10% lighter. Maximum performance. For Freestyle use ONLY.
*FOR EXPERT USE ONLY*
Paradigm Signature is a professional setup, and is not meant for use by beginner, or even intermediate highliners/riggers, due to it's lower MBS. Remember to inspect your webbing before and after every use, and retire it when necessary.
