Lightweight & Strong
A strength-to-weight ratio that is built for big highline projects
Feather PRO weighs in at with a strength of . This gives Feather PRO an extremely high strength to weight ratio, packing the maximum punch in the smallest package. This ensures an easy hike in and a confident walk on the line.
With packability and ease carrying a priority in the design of Feather PRO, we shot for as low weight as possible while maintaining that 6,000 lbf minimum break strength threshold that all BC Slackline Webbings adhere to. Combine the low weight with all the other amazing features Feather PRO has and you get a world class highline webbing built for big lines and alpine missions.
Four-Zone Construction
Optimized layering and zoning for improved abrasion resistance and handling.
The Strength Zone
At the core of Feather PRO lies the Strength Zone, where the majority of the strength comes from. Built using high tenacity polyester fibers, this zone has been purely optimized for raw strength to get the most out of these quality PES fibers.
The Protective Zone
A protective layer surrounding the core and pillowing, the Protective Zone is built from less strong but more abrasion resistant Polyester fibers to ensure the sensitive core is protected while the line is under tension. The Protective Zone sees part of the load while tensioned, but contributes less to the overall strength of the webbing compared to the Strength Zone. However, the majority of the abrasion resistance of Feather PRO is a direct result of this tightly woven Polyester layer.
The Bi-Color Zones
An innovative and sleek way of make twist detection a breeze. The Bi-Color zones have opposing colors on the edges of both faces to make it easy to spot any twists along the length of the line. We find it's easiest if the dark green color is up, as you can see red spots along the length very easy this way. These colored edges are made from high-tenacity, highly abrasion-resistant, solution-dyed, Polyester yarns to give the best of all worlds on one of the most sensitive parts of your slackline webbing.
The Pillowing Zones
One of the most advanced features of Feather PRO is the Pillowing Zones. These zones are built 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 Feather PRO a true pleasure to interact with.
Mid-Stretch for Max Play
Maximizing the stretch of the Polyester fibers to ensure playfulness while maintaining walkability.
Feather PRO is made from 95% Polyester fibers, which are inherently low stretch and very dead feeling when under tension. However, the specific weave that Feather PRO utilizes maximizes the stretch of the fibers by utilizing some of the mechanical stretch of the weave pattern. This results in one of the highest stretch polyester webbings on the market.
Not only does Feather PRO have a very high stretch curve for being a Polyester webbing, but the stretch curve has been optimized at the more normal tensions used for highlines. This means that Feather PRO has a very smooth stretch curve in the 1 - 6 kN (225 - 1,350 lbf) range. Usually a smooth and steep stretch curve results in more work to rig the line. Fret not as Feather PRO is considered "Mid-Stretch", which means it retains some of the low stretch properties of Polyester, making it easy to rig at length.
