Why Use an Aerial-8? The elongated “ears” of the Aerial-8: • Maintain cleaner, more organized knots • Help prevent fabric tearing • Improve fabric separation and leg control • Create a more controlled and professional rigging setup Its natural separation feature assists in managing silks legs during climbs, wraps, and drops — making transitions smoother and more predictable.
