softRelease Standard | Gentle Slackline Tension Release
The softRelease Standard, is the perfect solution for delicately releasing tension in slacklines. This innovative tool ensures a slow, controlled, and gentle release, safeguarding both the ratchet and the webbing, which are often prone to damage during the traditional ratchet opening process. For slacklines tensioned with a HangOver pulley system, a softRelease is absolutely essential.
This tool weighs just 170g (the longer versions weigh 300g and 570g respectively). After use, it can be rolled up again within 15 seconds and is secured with a clamping buckle.
The short version is suitable for slacklines that are tensioned with ratchets. For long tricklines, longlines and highlines, however, the 4m softRelease and 10m softRelease models are recommended.
The 4m and 10m versions are not only suitable for tension releasing, but also for re-tightening the slacklines. The softRelease can be used in a semi-relaxed state as long as there are at least 6 wraps.

More info about SLACKTIVITY’s slackline slow release system, the softRelease
SLACKTIVITY was the first to manufacturer the this type of system (2011). Since then, this term has become established for this type of tension releasing system in the slackline scene.
The first model was equipped with a Velcro strip. This has its advantages in use, but the disadvantage that the clamping force decreases over time. The current model is therefore equipped with a clamping buckle as a closure, which makes itmore durable.
The softRelease’s lifetime is significantly increased if you ensure that the softRelease is released slowly and in a controlled manner.
All models are compatible with the seaHorse-DP (SLACKTIVITY-WebLock with double pin). This combination allows the softRelease to be installed with just one shackle.

Essential to remove faster

My only concern is the super short green wrapper webbing is tricky to wok with. If it was 3 or 4 cm longer it would really help.

The clip may seem super simplistic, but it is 10x better compared to working with velcro.
