Description

High-quality, professional aerial silks (also known as aerial fabric, tissus, or ribbon) from Prodigy.

280cm wide, 40 denier, warp knit (tricot), 100% nylon, low stretch, made in the UK.

These silks include a reusable bag to carry and store your silk.

Please note the size listed is the total length of the silk. Aerial silks are rigged from the centre, so the working length is a little under half the total length.

The turquoise fabric is sensitive to UV light and will fade in direct sunlight or fluorescent lights. This will not affect the strength of the fabric.

Aerial Safety

Aerial equipment should never be used unsupervised, please consult a professional.

Everything below assumes you have a suitable and safe rigging point, like a professionally installed rigging point or a reputable and rated freestanding rig. Not every home/studio will be the same, so we cannot advise on this part. If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer/experienced rigger/professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.

Check out our aerial blogs for more information.

Low stretch

Prodigy silks are woven with a tricot warp knit, giving them a small amount of bounce (low-stretch does not mean zero-stretch) without making them so stretchy as to drain your energy while climbing. This gives them enough cushioning for drops while leaving you with the stamina for long performances and routines.

Versatile width

At 2.8m/110 inches wide, these are excellent for cocoons and width-based wraps. They’re also perfect as a yoga hammock or aerial sling!

Although they’re wide, at 40 deniers, they won't be too bulky for most aerialists' hands.

These silks have a beautiful shine, giving a fantastic look to any performance while remaining grippy enough to climb easily. They also have just enough weight to stay in place for you without weighing you down while wrapping.

Slack drops

All aerial fabrics are prone to reaching high temperatures during long or high-energy slack drops, which can result in small melted patches and holes. These holes are caused primarily by the friction of the fabric rubbing against itself and the performer during high-speed movement. Correct technique, clothing, and fabric choice will help your fabrics last longer.

All nylon and low-stretch fabrics are more susceptible to this phenomenon than the stretchy polyester of Firetoys Silks.

You should always take care when practising slack drops and be aware of the heat you can generate during these drops. If you perform slack drops, you will need to inspect the entire length of your fabric regularly, and the fabric will need replacing more often.
