Polesilks.co.uk sells them but I think it's only in UK....anyone know of US seller? I've been looking into these too and also wondering if it could convert into an aerial yoga hammock or if it's too close to the pole for that to work well.

Just saw a discussion about pole silks that sells it on on fabpole.net. I have a pole and silks abut 3 ft for each other and I do combine using the two , but Im looking into getting the attachment that goes on the pole. Fabpole is in the us
Leesi from L'Ru Studios is on SV. There are 2 attachments available. The original is a neoprene like piece and there is a new one out specifically designed for X Poles that is made of metal.

k nope thats not the site
What is the diff between fabpole, pole aria, and polesilks?
Is there any benefit of using neoprene vs the metal attachment? And can both be used on xpole
Hi, there are now four attachments out there to attach fabric to a pole. Pole aria, pole silks, silkii, and Nexus Wrap. The first three are made from a metal material and the nexus wrap is rubber. I have used them all and they all work just fine. I hope that helped a little. Smiles, Leesi L'Ru
Sorry I forgot to answer a question. Silkii only fits expert and stage poles. The others for all but are limited to size except the Nexus Wrap fits all sizes.
Sorry again -silkii only fits x-poles.
Fabpole.net #fabpole if you want to see the nexus wrap.
Silkii looks like only in Australia and only for x-stage. Although shouldn't it be the same pole (not sure why it says only xstage)? I did see the others you mentioned l'rue...wondering if the metal ones might eventually cause damage to the pole and if the rubber piece is as sturdy as the metal options since it uses velcro to attach? Thanks!
Silkii is available from all X-Pole offices, depending on stock. USA, UK and Australia definitely have stock and the instructions have just been finalised. Silkii has been designed for X-Pole and can be used on both X-Stages and Poles. But a permanent mount or a ceiling plate (for upper domes) is mandatory. Any pole using any silk attachment should have a fixed mount or fixed ceiling plate. The side and centre loads on a pole with a silk attachment are very different from any poles initial design criteria and so, the possibility of the pole moving or are falling without a mount/plate are significantly increased. While designed for X-Pole a Silkii can be used on any pole if the pin in the centre is removed - it is a hex bolt. Finally the Silkii has beautifully rounded edges to avoid damage to the pole.

Hi xpole thanks for clarifying about the edges. None of the aerial products including SiLKii (or the pole away) show up on the US website so I guess just have to call for those type of things? From the image on the AUS site, at first looked like needed two separate pieces of fabric to attach (which I guess could be an option?) but at closer look I see the girl is only using one side for a one point contact. Does this mean you could potentially attach two sets of fabric (like for two people) or is it only there for a hammock/double point connection? Not sure if anyone else is interested but from my observation.... Pole aria or fabpole don't look to have this option for two sets (if that's even possible with SiLKii). Aria looks like it will be about $200+shipping (this includes the attachments and fabric) for my ceiling height (over 10'). Fabric is black medium stretch with no other options. Wondering what the width is of this fabric so I could switch between uses of silks>hammock. Fabpole gives options with or without fabric plus custom colors for additional charge. Looks like about $10 shipping added in the drop box price. So comparing apples to apples could save about $35+shipping here (or use towards a fancy color). Also says non & medium stretch fabric but no option in the drop box to choose a preference. And wondering about fabric width. SiLKii is $120+shipping according to AUS site so not sure if this is accurate for US. Either way does not include fabric so probably a higher cost overall although if it allows for two sets of fabric could be something to consider for people who perform as doubles. And would ensure the user has their preference of fabric stretch/non, width and color. PoleSilks seems like the most expensive (although could be similar to SiLKii depending on your choices there). Also am not a fan of the logo drawing attention if performing for instance. There are a few color options though (all priced the same). This is just my out loud though process that maybe can be helpful to someone else in the same boat...if anyone can confirm or advise it is much appreciated!
FabPole fabric is about 54". you can order aerial fabric which is 110". If you are interested in the price for aerial fabric please email the length you want and we will get you a quote. I have performed duo FabPole using a Silkii and Nexus Wrap.

With Pole Aria, you have the option of purchasing with or without fabric. The fabric length is 22 feet for the 10' pole option and 26 feet for the 12' pole option. This provides enough fabric to tie a knot in the bottom to make a low lying hammock. The width of the fabric is 60". Pole Aria should only be used with poles utilizing a fixed mount. The clamp is machined 6061 aluminum with smooth edges.
I have the Pole Aria on my Veena purple pole. I love it. So easy to just take off or just remove the hook that the silks hook into. There is no damage to my pole from the clamp.

I have fabPole and like it a lot. So you know, I have an old style x-pole (pre x-joint) so it doesn't have the holes in it that are needed for the X-pole one to install. I guess you could drill holes, but I didn't want to. Just wanted you to know in case you have an old pole.
The nexus wrap does not require holes to work!
debra007 ·
Yes. That is what I'm saying. FabPole doesn't need the holes.
Wow I didn't even know that you could combine the 2. Really?! I need to do research.

Just to make sure I'm clear. (I think I may be confusing people somehow, sorry) To me FabPole is the Nexus Wrap. So that's what I mean when I say FabPole.
