The Mammut Slackline Set's easy-to-use tensioning system eliminates the need for complicated rigging, and the specially designed two-nylon webbing provides just the right amount of elasticity for walking. Mammut used dual-weave construction to make one side grippy for beginning slackliners and the other side smooth for more advanced walkers. When you're through working on your jump start and bounce turn, just pull a single cord to release tension and disassemble the Slackline Set. *Not for use as a highline.

Well built, easy set up, great to use. A couple small hitches.

Rating:*****
Once you read the instructions well it is not problem to set up. Though the instructions could be a little clearer. It unit is strong and the web line offers good grip under the feet. Releasing the ratchet takes a little getting used to and the action is violent, so careful of your fingers. The plastic wedge can get stuck and hold you up for a long time when pulling down the device, so make sure the red connecting string does not get wedged also. Apart from those issues is would say the Mammut is a solid quality slack line that allows easy adjustment. 20M line length also offers excellent flexibility if you trees are far apart.

nice kit

Rating:*****

Yeah, you could go out and make your own slackline kit for less money. But you can set this one up by yourself in 2-3 minutes, the webbing is really nice (the textured side is nice to learn on), and there isn't a single knot to untie when you're done. It's really easy to get the line as tight as you want with the ratcheting system, without running out of travel in the ratchet. Bottom line, the extra hardware you pay for makes it easy enough to set up/take down that I end up using it a lot more than I would with a homebrewed system.

The Perfect Slackline System

Rating:*****
The Mammut salckline system is possibly the perfect slackline. The slackline itself is made of a material that is much thicker and stronger than climbing webbing. The length can be adjusted easily from anywhere between 0 to 20 meters, and the slackline always lays perfectly flat. Directly above the ratchet system there is a second strap which is doubled back (much like the buckle of a climbing harness) to ensure the tension is not lost when the ratchet is being adjusted. Also, the system is very easy to set up and to tighten.

killer kit

Rating:*****

Waited a long time for this. Very nice set up. Everything you need to slackline in one carrying bag. Perfect thing to take on the road. Really easy to use and the webbing is really good, i like the textured side better. I think it is worth the money you pay and it will last a good long time.

Worth the price

Rating:*****
I had some concern with the hefty price tag originally. As soon as I examined the unit, I could tell this would be something special however. This is the most well thought out unit Ive come across. Simple, Elegant even, and some serious quality components.

Overpriced underthought

Buying probably the priciest slackline set on the market gave me a special feeling. At first. Fancy bag, nice mammut equipment. However, how surprised I got that instead of providing 2 extra (necessary!) carabiners Mammuts asks you tie the tree sling around a tree using a...knot. Knot that after an hour of walking the line gets unbelievably stiff and hard as a stone and completely impossible to untie.

$150!! WTF?

Rating:*

NO. DO NOT BUY THIS. Buy yourself sixty or seventy feet of 1-inch tubular, three ovals and a nice present for your wife. Then buy yourself a bottle of the Glenlivet. Now treat yourself to dinner, and maybe a movie. You'll still be saving about forty bucks and you won't look like an idiot.

Good attempt, but the set needs a little fine tuning

Rating:***
I really like that theoretically, this slackline set could be set up by just me. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do that yet. My first problem is that I got the 2009 slackline kit, and it came with the 2008 instructions. I called toll free number for assistance with set up and was told that I just need to read the directions. When I asked a more specific question (should I be ratcheting the orange line or the black line) the guy hung up on me. The video online is also for an older slackline kit, so there are a few differences. Also, I don't speak German and the instructional video doesn't speak English. Set up is easier in that you don't have to pull like crazy to tighten the line (the ratchet does that). Set up takes much longer than I expected though (20 minutes). Take down is incredibly difficult. Everything gets so tight; I used a flathead screwdriver to pry into the knot to loosen it. The orange plastic wedge works great as a stopper, but it also causes big delays when it gets stuck in the take down process. Overall, I think this could be a great kit if I had any idea of how to put it up or take it down correctly.
