"Size does not thing (a little scrap though.)"

What to choose between a 2.5cm, iii.5cm or 5cm wide Slackline?

The wider a slackline is, the heavier information technology volition be. So if the 5cm slacklines set are the well-nigh comfortable, they are too complicated to behave when they are very long (more than than 30m).

5cm will always be more comfy so if you are not interested in the longline (walking long distances), so we propose you to take a 5cm broad slackline, similar the classic line.

But if  you lot hesitate between the two, the Banana Lama will be the all-time compromise with an intermediate line width of 3.5cm.

For your children, the best slackline would be a 5cm broad slackline similar the funline.

If you are interested in trickline, and so you need a 5cm broad line, there is different trickline webbing like the surferline, the ballsy pro, element…

What to choose between a 15m or a 25m Slackline set?

Then it all depends on your ambitions. A 25m slackline can always be set upwards on less than 15m, while a 15m slackline cannot be fix on more than.

In this sense, if you think you need long distance quickly then take a 25m line.

On the other hand, if you want a small-scale line that fits in a bag for very occasional practice, so short lines like the travel line volition be perfect for you.
