Black Spanset Round Slings 2-Pack 5300lb - Polyester Aerial Rigging

Our review of the Black Spanset Round Slings 2-Pack finds these polyester roundslings most useful for aerialists, rigging technicians, and venue crews who need a discreet, high-capacity suspension solution. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a compact, low-visibility black jacket with a strong, endless polyester core that yields a safe working load rated at 2 tonnes, making them suitable for aerial hoop, aerial silks, hammock yoga, and suspension over steel beams or wooden supports.

Key Features

• Endless polyester loop: The continuous loop construction provides a smooth, abrasion-resistant sling that conforms to shapes and grips loads securely during aerial work.
• Double-wall tubular jacket: A thick tubular cover protects the core yarns from friction and wear when used over beams or steel, increasing durability.
• 2 tonne safe working load: Built with a 7:1 safety factor, the slings are rated for heavy-duty suspension tasks and provide strong confidence when rigging equipment or aerial apparatus.
• Multiple connection options: Can be directly connected to carabiners, shackles, quick links, anchors, or beams for flexible rigging configurations.
• Lightweight and low profile: The black color and slim profile make the slings easy to hide on stage or in outdoor settings while staying simple to handle and pack.
• Range of usable lengths: Lengths are quoted as maximum usable length rather than circumference, so folding and rigging choices remain predictable for different setups.

Who It's For

These roundslings are aimed at aerial performers, yoga hammock users, rigging crews, and small venue techs who need a reliable, heavy-duty sling that blends visually into stage and outdoor environments. The black jacket helps conceal rigging in performance spaces, and the polyester construction stands up well to repeated use on steel or wood.

Those who should look elsewhere include users requiring webbing with integrated textile protection sleeves for specific soft-edge padding needs or people who need bespoke certified slings with different color coding for multiple load classes. For lightweight recreational hammock users a simpler hammock strap system may be more convenient.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High rated capacity and robust 7:1 safety factor give peace of mind for aerial and lifting tasks.
• Durable double-wall jacket handles friction well when rigging over steel I-beams.
• Low visual profile and lightweight loop make transport and concealment easy for performance use.
• Versatile connection compatibility with carabiners, shackles, and anchors simplifies rigging setups.

Cons

• Longer or bulkier than simple sling loops, so they take more space in a kit compared with thinner webbing straps.
• Specification labels use maximum usable length rather than circumference, which can confuse first-time buyers who expect circumference measurements.
