Description

Firetoys high-quality, professional aerial silk (also known as aerial fabric, tissus, or ribbon) are the UKs best selling silks by far. 

Key stats: 150cm wide, 75 denier, 100% polyester, medium stretch, made in the UK. 

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.

These silks are reduced due to minor cosmetic imperfections. The strength and safety of these silks is not compromised by these imperfections.

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.

NON-SLIP AND DURABLE

Firetoys aerial silks are synonymous with premium quality. Our fully certified professional standard silks are made from a durable, ladder resistant fabric.

The material's non-slip textured finish provides more grip than other aerial silks but still retains a sheen under stage lights.

The 150cm wide, 75 denier 100% polyester fabric creates a chunky grip. The fabric's durability makes it very well suited to studios and high use environments.

BOUNCE AND STRETCH

These medium-stretch silks are ideal for more advanced moves where some bounce is beneficial to cushion impacts from drops.

Medium-stretch silks require more energy to climb than our low-stretch Prodigy silks, making them slightly harder to climb for absolute beginners.

Please note the stretch will reduce a little over time.

Rig with a figure 8

If you want to spin, connect a figure 8 to your swivel. We recommend using a swivel to reduce the rotational force on your rigging and anchor point.

If you don't want to spin, you can connect directly to your anchor point or use a strop/polysafe rope between hardware, but be aware of rotational forces on the rigging and anchor point.

Rig with a silks hook

If you want to spin, connect a silks hook to your swivel. We recommend using a swivel to reduce the rotational force on your rigging and anchor point.

If you don't want to spin, you can connect directly to your anchor point or use a strop/polysafe rope between hardware, but be aware of rotational forces on the rigging and anchor point.

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, like the Prodigy silks, 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 regularly perform slack drops, you will need to inspect the entire length of your fabric regularly, and the fabric will need replacing more often.

Selvedge

Firetoys silks have tenter holes at the edges where the fabric is manufactured.

For comfort and aesthetics, these tenter holes have been trimmed off to ensure a uniform width and look.
