Simian Classic Slackline Kit with Carry Bag

This is my first slack line so I don't have much to compare it to in terms of features. I give it a solid 4 stars because it was easy to set up, the quality appears to be good, and it comes with the tree protecters and a bag to keep it all together. However The bag is cheap and could have a strap for easy carrying ( if your gonna take the time to put it all in a bag, the bag should be easy to carry with one hand). Also, the tree protectors seem adequate but could be a bit longer for larger trees. The slack line its self is great!

The bottom line with this product is, know what you're paying for.I have had this slack line for about two months at this point, I've used it nearly every day, or every other day on average since then.Overall my first few uses with this line were great, and I still don't have too many complaints. If you're a beginner, this line will be perfect for you and the price is just right too. Where this line starts to fall in comparison to more expensive models is if you're a HEAVY user. I slacklined earlier in life, and wanted to have something to do when I brought my dog to the park, so I got back into it. It took a few weeks to get back my balance back to how I remember it being. Once I got the hang of it, I was going almost every day.The slack line is a great outdoor workout tool, when you first start you're probably going to find that the line will shake as you begin to press your weight down onto the line. This is just a matter of gaining some control over the tiny stabilizer muscles who are so confused about what is going on. Once I got past this hurdle, I was able to start practicing some of the more fancy foot work, and even attempting some jumps. This is where you'll find this line starts to lose it's luster.When you begin trying jumps and other things, you'll find that the tighter the line is the more bounce and stability you'll have. The problem with this is this is where you'll start to be design limited. While the ratchet for this slackline is super convenient in most cases, once you start putting some real torque down on it, the faster it's performance deteriorates. The ratchet now has lost it's new feel, the pieces of metal slide past each other less smoothly now, sometimes binding up, the notches in the ratchet are becoming less easy to spin round. Another thing to consider, using this on roughly the same few sets of tree's each time has caused the line to begin to fray in the spots which go through the ratchet. Not where it goes around the tree - which I cannot use the supplied tree protectors - TOO SMALL only good for a 6" diameter tree , tops.I'd buy this line again if I just wanted to try it for the first time, not knowing if I'd like it. If you have kids, they will love to try this. Many times kids, and their parents shortly behind, will come up an ask to try it out, it has sparked numerous conversations with passersby. If I knew that my skills or my interest were going to progress quickly, I would lean to a different line with a better handle and sturdier materials. This line probably won't last me too much longer, but it was worth the price.Final advice - if you want to try something new or to get your kids better balance this is a great choice - but I would also get a helper line to hold on to. Your arms will be tired from holding up your kids on the line.

New to slacklining so this has been more than good enough. Been bringing it on scouting events and the scouts love the challenge. Start out with a short distance and tight to make it easier. Then work up to longer lengths. If you want friction paint buy a more expensive one but for us this has been just fine. Tip, to release a tensioned slackline move the handle to fully opened and there is a cam that pushes the locking bar out of position and the line will un-tension. Very helpful as the other more obvious approach takes a lot of strength.

Exactly as advertised. Bright orange line with two cheap tree protectors and a carrying bag.The bag came already half broken, and it wasn't much of a bag in the first place (can't be carried over shoulder easily).Other than that, it's exactly what you'd expect. Line seems to be of decent quality, haven't had any issues so far. It warns you not to put the line more than 18" off the ground, which is pretty silly. Works fine even at 30" up.

I've been using this line for a bit over a month now. So far this line has performed very well. It does well with but high and low tensions and the ratchet has held well. The 80ft length allows anyone to start with an easy 20ft set-up and with their way up to the full length.It could be improved with a little bit more durable line and longer tree protectors. Overall this is a great line to learn on before trying a more advanced line.

Not only did the Slackline start fraying within 5 uses, last night the ratchet broke and got the Slackline completely stuck. I followed all instructions in the manual and set it up the exact same way I had the past several times and this time you could see the ratchet was visibly broken when trying to unlock it. Checked manuals, looked up videos online and made sure I didn’t load it improperly load it but it turns out the ratchet simply broke. Maybe you could use a wrench or something to unlock it but we didn’t have one with us and had to leave the Slackline in the park. Terrible product, will never be doing business with this company again I suggest you steer clear as well

I've never had a slack line before, but this was cheap, easy to set up, and seems to work great. It's really long so it takes longer to set up and take down, but as I get better I'll want that extra length anyway, so it's probably for the best.

Kids (7 and 4) LOVE this thing - they play on it daily and can walk across it now without hands. Great for balance, strength, confidence, and FUN!

Bon slackline idéal pour débuter.C'est d'un beau orange qui flashe.Mes filles de 4 et 6 ans sont heureuses, reste plus qu'à s'entraîner pour avancer sur la ligne.Le kit est complet et correspond à l'annonce : la sangle, le cric, 2 protèges arbre et un sac pour tout ranger.Le sac en revanche est de fabrication legere et vu le poids cela ne devrait pas durer longtemps.Mais pour le prix c'est un très bon compromis!

mon petit fils a été étonné par ce nouveau "sport" et a été très emballé !!!!on va s'entrainer !!! super on peut l'enmener partout !!!
