Ideal for Silks

The Prodigy Elevate is an ideal for rigging your silks. It's the simplest and safest way to hang your silk to distribute the load and separate the fabric ends.

It only adds 17cm (approx 7 inches) to your rigging; perfect for a low rigging height. And weighing only 254g (approx. 9oz) won't add much weight to your kit bag.

Low Weight, High Strength

Made from Aluminum Alloy with an anodised finish, this figure 8 is lightweight but strong with a Minimum Breaking Strain (MBS) of 40kN.

All our range of silks have been load tested rigged from figure 8.

If you have plenty of rigging height and don't need to take down your silks to transport them regularly, we recommend the Prodigy Aerial Silks Hook.

Multiple Rigging Uses

We have a recommended knot to use for tying your fabrics. The method is included with every set of Aerial Silks that we sell. Still, there are other rigging applications for the Prodigy Elevate, too!

You can use the Prodigy Elevate to:

  • Temporarily shorten your fabric
  • Rig your silk as a single point sling/hammock
  • Rig two separate, different coloured silks to make beautiful two-coloured silks (as pictured below), with one colour per leg of fabric. Check out how to do this safely here.

Did you know...

The hard anodised coating protecting the Elevate is applied using a specialist process that leaves 2 tiny marks on the inside of the main anchor point. These are completely normal and part of our manufacturing process.

All aerial items from Firetoys are delivered brand new, fully tested and ready to use!
