Gift Ideas for Slackliners – From Small Stocking Fillers to a Complete Set
What do you give someone who balances on a strap between two trees? If that's the question on your mind right now, you're in the right place. We've been making slacklines since 2005 and know pretty well what slackliners get excited about – and what ends up gathering dust in the basement after Christmas.
Here are our ideas, sorted by who the gift is for and how much you want to spend.
For anyone who wants to get started
The best gift for beginners is a complete set they can start with straight away. Our Sigma Impact Set from €57.95 has everything: the soft Impact webbing with a sewn loop, a long-handle ratchet, two stainless steel shackles, two round slings and tree protection. Unpack, rig between two trees, step on. The 15-metre version is the typical beginner length.
Tip: add our guide Which slackline is right for me? and the setup guide, and the first setup works even without any prior knowledge.
Small gifts under €15
For slackliners who already have a set, it's often the small parts that are missing:
- Tree Protection Plus for €9.00 – the wide felt tree protection everyone needs and nobody likes buying
- Linelocker for €8.00 – lets you set the length of the webbing without a chain link and without damage
- Sewn loop for €12.00 – we sew it straight onto the webbing
- Round sling from €12.95 – a spare or a second pair for thick trees
- Webbing sections from our clearance from just a few euros – single pieces of Impact, Y.a.W. and tubular webbing, ideal as a backup, for guy lines or for short lines
For those who've been slacklining for a while
Anyone moving on to longer lines or wanting to try something new will be happy about webbing. Our webbing is sold by the metre from 15 metres:
- Sigma Impact, €0.95/m – soft and bouncy, ideal for training and barefoot walking
- Sigma Impact Low Stretch, €0.95/m – the Impact with low stretch, for longlines
- AirTrack, €0.59/m – light and versatile, perfect for travelling
- Y.a.W. 2.0, €0.75/m – ultralight at 38 g/m, the pick for rodeo lines, as a backup or as a travel webbing with character
A long-handle ratchet from €15.95 goes well with it, or a tree anchor from €15.95, which makes rigging on thick trees much easier.
For longliners and highliners
This is about hardware people often don't treat themselves to:
- Equilocker for €55.50 – the longline linelock for 25 mm webbing
- Equilocker Plus from €79.95 – with direct soft release attachment
- Roll n Lock for €59.95 and Orbiter M for €15.95 – for a rope pulley system
- Pillar Steel carabiner from €12.95 and Rigging Plate from €26.95
- T-Loop and M/B Loop – sewn onto the line for the highline backup
Not sure what they already have? Then a gift card is the safer choice.
The gift card – when you don't know which webbing
Slackliners often have very precise ideas about what they want. With a gift card between €10 and €100 they choose for themselves, whether webbing, hardware or a set. The gift card is sent by e-mail right away, or for an extra €3.95 as a printed greeting card by post – so it really ends up under the tree.
Order in time
For delivery before Christmas within Germany, order by Thursday, 17 December. The closer Christmas gets, the busier the parcel centres are, so earlier is better. For deliveries abroad, allow at least one more week.
We make sewn loops as soon as you order. T-Loops and M/B Loops are sewn onto your line to your specifications, which adds one to two days.
