An "oldschool" slackline kit with a simple pulley system.
A similar configuration to the Slacker kit could be found in the very first slackline kits used by Yosemite climbers back in 70s.
Unlike common ratchet kits, the Slacker is tensioned by a separate webbing using steel carabiners which preserves the main line. Though it’s a bit more difficult at first, once you have seen the video, we’re positive it’ll be a piece of cake.
Newly, Slacker consist two pieces of carabiners with keylock which eliminates webbing jamming in the carabiner lock. Also, we changed steel multipull carabiner to a aluminium carabiner. Slacker is now even lighter.
Climbers, outdoor enthusiasts and ultralight lovers will come to love the kit for its light weight makes the Slacker ideal for hiking, restday in climbing crag as well as fast-paced moving in urban areas. Tested and made in the Czech Republic.

FAQ
Slacker looks very much like Zen but is way cheaper. What’s the difference between the two?
What a brilliant question to ask! Steel carabiners and so called “primitive system” are used when tensioning the Slacker. Just like with Zen, the tensioning system is basically a pulley system only with far greater efficiency, and gentle-release capability.
Can I use my climbing carabiners to assemble my own Ellington?
Steel components, including carabiners, is a slackline health & safety standard. Aluminium carabines are absolutely unfit for such purpose and pose a significant health risk.
Can I use Slacker kit for highline?
No, don’t use Slacker for highline. Despite the components’ relatively high strength, the kit’s construction is not highline optimised. You need to make sure the right gear with the right safety precautions is used when going highline. Check our Slackinfo for more details.
Tensioning the Slacker kit looks complicated. Am I up to it?
The “primitive system” is actually a bit more complex than using ratchets to tension the webbing but it’s no rocket science anyway. We do however recommend watching the video guide where all steps are shown clearly.
