I am proud to release the 5th generation of Lynx webbing locker.
Featuring a 1 piece body cnc machined from one block of Aluminium 7075, the new generation is lighter, much stronger and more functional.
Lynx 5 is succesfully approved by ISA:51 webbing locker standard, ensuring highest safety and quality standards.
Finally i have designed a new solution to prevent micro slippage and tail walk, while using a soft release - the new Aki SlipStop.

New Budget polyester webbings...
Nomad is perfect for traveling and rodeo lines.
Soma is a durable, moderate stretch Allrounder perfect for rough park or backups.
Aki Sonic Light is the new stretchy and light polyamide webbing with super fine and soft edges. Optional sewn end loops are proven to have over 99% efficieny, outperforming any weblocks thanks to Aki Loop Booster sewing technology.
Puffy sewn loops for those who are committed to softies.
On Polar webbing those extra padded loops (built in Soft Thimble) will retain webbing full strength (27 to 28 kN), while anchoring on a soft shackle. Normal sewn loops will break below 22 kN with Polar + softies.
For those who want to be more flexible I recommend a separate Soft Thimble just taped into a normal loop.
Tightening and proofing a pilot series of 5mm soft shackles made of Dyneema SK99 with integrated opening preventer. Strength of this little cuties is above 50 kn. ( i have broken 3 samples)
Torn webbing... 💥👀
Sewing slacklines and testing strength is a complex topic, currently i am at test no. 185 with my AkiSnap solely on sewings. The more i test the more i am aware of the complexity. So many factors to consider... Every webbing behaves unique...
One of the outcomes of this elaborate work was the development of the quasi 99% end loop using the Aki Loop Booster approach.
Thats how sewn end loops are manufactured at AkiSlack.
I sew with the most modern machine in the slackline market. Ensuring highest quality and reproduceability. Every sewing pattern is meticulous optimized and strength tested.
Btw. a new batch of longer Sonic pieces arrived lately.
