Webbing straps in climbing: When every detail matters

04/22/2025

One small detail can be the difference between a safe ascent and an accident.
A securely stitched strap. A correctly tightened harness. Materials that perform even in the harshest conditions. In climbing, every piece of equipment matters – but webbing? Webbing is the backbone of safety. Without it, harnesses, backpacks, and via ferrata sets simply don't work. That’s why, at Mouka Tišnov, webbing is at the center of our focus.

Gear that’s no toy: Why webbing is crucial

Climbing isn’t about looking cool. It’s a discipline that pushes your physical strength, mental resilience – and the limits of your gear.

Whether it’s:

  • sport climbing

  • multi-pitch routes

  • via ferratas

  • alpine traverses

  • rescue missions

…you rely on webbing straps for climbing that can withstand tension, shock, moisture, freezing temperatures, UV rays, and abrasion.

Webbing is a core component of harnesses, chest straps, rope slings, and backpack support systems. Its quality directly impacts your safety, comfort, and performance on the wall.

A story from the heights: A fall that showed what webbing straps can handle

Pavel, a seasoned climber, recalls one particular climb in the Dolomites:
"Everything was going smoothly – until my foot slipped on the wet rock. I fell. And the webbing caught me."

Thanks to a well-stitched harness and durable materials, his fall was stopped in seconds. No injuries.
"It was the moment I realized just how much the little things matter. Since then, I choose my gear with a different kind of respect."

What makes webbing straps for climbing a reliable partner?

At our company, we specialize in making webbing for climbing that performs under all conditions. We focus on:

  • materials – we use polyester, polyamide (nylon), or aramid, depending on required strength, flexibility, and resistance

  • strength – most of our webbing reaches 18–22 kN (up to 2,200 kg), compliant with EN 566, EN 354 and other European standards

  • durability – UV-stabilized, abrasion-resistant, and built to handle temperature swings

  • craftsmanship – multi-stitch construction, sealed ends, and batch-by-batch quality control

The result is webbing that holds up to repeated heavy use – yet stays comfortable and flexible.

Comfort at altitude: When every millimeter counts

Anyone who’s spent time hanging in a harness knows the discomfort of pressure points and cutting straps.
That’s why we also focus on ergonomics:

  • wide load distribution

  • padded and contoured sections

  • easy adjustments, even with gloves

  • stability in movement and under load

The goal is simple: webbing that doesn’t pinch, distract, or shift – just stays where it’s meant to.

Via ferrata webbing: The safety core of every ferrata set

In via ferrata kits, webbing plays a key role. It acts as an energy absorber – it must handle fall forces without tearing or deforming.

We supply webbing to certified manufacturers of ferrata and rescue systems. Every product undergoes strength testing, seam inspection, and resistance analysis.
For us, safety is always the top priority.

Gear for terrain where failure isn’t an option

Beyond climbing gear, we also manufacture:

  • backpack and load-bearing webbing straps – designed for stability and balanced weight distribution

  • helmet straps and cinch bands – made for extreme conditions and high reliability

  • rescue slings and harnesses – engineered for professionals, where every second counts

Webbing made with respect for nature and people

Climbing teaches humility. And responsibility – not just for the product, but for its impact.

  • we minimize water use and waste

  • we support local manufacturing and employment

  • we build long-lasting products – fewer replacements, less waste

Mouka Tišnov: Webbing for climbing you can trust with your life

Since 1842, we’ve carried on the Czech textile tradition. Today, we produce technical webbing for industries, defense, healthcare – and sports.
But climbing is where quality is tested fastest – and where mistakes are not an option.

We partner with outdoor equipment brands who value reliability, innovation, and responsibility.
We manufacture in the Czech Republic, test to European standards, and develop our products hand-in-hand with climbers who live and breathe the vertical world.

Looking for webbing that can handle what others can’t?

Whether it’s for climbing, rescue, or industrial use – your equipment has to perform with no compromise. On the wall, under a bridge, in the forest – sometimes, it’s not just your gear on the line, it’s you.
