Quick answer: velvet-covered aerial straps and bodyloops, 40 mm wide and 4 mm thick, with a Safe Working Load of 80 kg (176 lb) per strap — not per pair — a Minimum Breaking Strength of 800 kg (1763 lb) per strap and a 10:1 safety factor. Sold as a pair with safety keepers and carabiners, in 8 colours and 5 lengths, as straps or as loops. Handcrafted to order in Alicante, Spain. €60–€220, free worldwide shipping.
Straps or loops — which do I need?
Straps are open-ended and finished with a stirrup, so you thread and wrap them. Loops are closed, so you step or reach straight in. Straps give you more configurations and more wrap options; loops are faster to enter and are what most people start on. Both are the same webbing, the same covering and the same rating — the difference is how you get into them.
The 40 cm option is a short travel loop for conditioning and warm-up rather than a full apparatus.

Why the per-strap rating matters
Two straps do not simply give you a 160 kg limit. Load is rarely shared evenly between them, and a choke, a single-side hang or an inverted transition can put the entire load on one strap. Rig to the single-strap figure of 80 kg.
The margin between 80 kg and the 800 kg breaking strength is not spare capacity — it is what absorbs the shock load of a drop, which can multiply body weight several times over. Full explanation in our guide to SWL, MBS and safety factors.
Care and inspection
Store dry and away from direct sunlight. Keep the webbing clear of sharp or abrasive surfaces. Clean the velvet gently with a damp cloth. Inspect the webbing, stitching, keepers and carabiners before every session and retire anything showing cuts, burns, fraying or deformation.
Frequently asked questions
How much weight can aerial straps hold?
80 kg (176 lb) per strap, derived from a breaking strength of 800 kg (1763 lb) divided by a 10:1 safety factor. That figure is per single strap, not per pair, because loading is rarely shared evenly.
What is the difference between aerial straps and loops?
Straps are open-ended with a stirrup and are threaded and wrapped; loops are closed and you step or reach straight in. Same webbing, same covering, same rating — the difference is entry and the range of wraps available.
What length should I order?
Length depends on your rigging height and the drops you want. If you are unsure, email care@aerialobsessed.com with your floor-to-rigging-point height and what you train, and we will size it with you. Custom lengths are available on request.
Why velvet rather than cotton?
Velvet sits softly against the skin during wraps and rolls, and our seams are positioned on the outside so nothing presses in. The inner face lies flat with no folds, which is what prevents the pinching that causes strap bites.
Does the price include rigging hardware?
The pair ships with safety keepers and carabiners. The rigging above them — anchor point, plate, swivels — is separate; see our Universal Hanging Kit and the rigging collection.
How long does delivery take?
Made to order in 3–5 business days, then 5–8 business days economy shipping. Shipping is free worldwide with no minimum order and returns are accepted within 14 days.
