JOKER

JOKER - A real JOKER hybrid webbing

The JOKER is quite an exceptional webbing. It's been designed for those who want to do more than only walking or crossing lines. Its hybrid (half polyester half nylon) construction makes the JOKER unique. It allows you to use it as a fun training line in the park, as a medium stretch, surfy waterline, as a bouncy highline to improve your tricks or as the perfect choice to walk your new, personal long distance record. JOKER is the multi purpose line that everyone needs.

To develope the JOKER, we focused specifically on three topics: 

• Comfort
• Abrasion resistance
• Performance

Comfort

The tubular structure of the JOKER edges, which are filled with foamed polyamide, allows those edges to be less stretched under tension than the rest of the line. It means the edges remain perfectly soft and round, even at the bottom of a bounce! JOKERS light weight (54 g/m) is highly appreciated during long approaches, same as small amount of space that it requires, when packed up in your backpack.

Abrasion resistance 

The dense weaving increases the resistance of the exterior cover. Thermo-fixing improves the characteristics of the polyester fibers and gives the JOKER its smooth and consistent feel. This special texture improves the abrasion resistance and water repellency, while also avoiding dust and crystals to enter the fibers. The thermo-fixing treatment also makes the webbing generally more comfortable by removing the rough feel of fibers right after weaving. This process also influences the webbing behavior under tension.

Performance

Most likely the most exciting part when it comes to webbing development. The light weight (54 g/m) makes it really easy to handle the JOKER on all lengths, removing intense snaky reactions and limiting the momentum of its own movements. With the JOKER you will find a responsive and playful webbing. Just push a little and the bounce will get back to you. The more you push, the more the JOKER responses. We haven't experienced its limits yet. ts elasticity of 9% at 10 kN makes it especially versatile: highline, surfline, rodeo, waterline you can do it all.

JOKER = your lucky line! 

What is the difference between the BY METER webbing, the SPLIT50 or the SPLIT100?

If you already have a regular training spot, with a predefined length in which to install a longline, e.g. 30, 45 or 70 m, then you can choose to purchase the webbing with the PRICE BY METER model by selecting the length you want (quantité 33 =33m), and if necessary you can purchase a SEWN LOOP for one or both ends separately.

However, if you already want to consider connecting several lines together using INOV' SPLIT technology, you want to choose the SPLITS of 50 or 100m length. 

Shall I select SPLIT50/100 model or SPLIT50/100+BACKUP LOOP?

The option of having a 1m BACKUP LOOP would be mandatory for rigging your slackline as a longline in the park, when using only one weblock in your whole set-up. You may attach your slackline on one end directly into the endloop, by using a shackle for example. This leaves you on the other hand with no extra webbing to create your safety around the tree (your backup). 

Therefore do we offer the option of a 1m extra webbing (the BACKUP LOOP), a solution to secure your main loop, shackle and slings of your main anchor. Simply attach it to an independent shackle, best even an independent sling as well, shown in the picture above.

Warning: this BACKUP LOOP doesn't replace a full backup webbing on a highline set-up!

Choose the CLASSIC or JUMBO protection Sleeve

Before being sewn into a loop, the webbing is threaded into a tubular webbing that acts as a protective anti-abrasion sleeve. We offer two different kinds of protection sleeve:

• CLASSIC: it is a single, tubular layer protection and is ideal for most common situations, such as with shackles or carabiners.
• JUMBO: is an innovative, new system with a tubular, double layer of protection, which increases abrasion resistance and makes the use of small connectors (such as the Ø4 mm SOFT SHAKES or the Ø5 mm diameter dyneema ropes) concernless. 

Made in France - About Quality and Safety 

The JOKER has been designed, tested and developed by Slack-Inov in France. It has been produced in collaboration with our expert athletes who we let choose its main, most important performance-based and technical characteristics, in order to offer you the perfect multi-purpose line. Every batch has been tested with appropriate machinery to check breaking strength and the fiber integrity after the production. We truly care about your and our safety, since we are all the first users of this unique product.
