Ab Straps for Core Training and Home Gym Brands
Our ab straps are sewn and assembled in the Oath and Oak Global factory for core training brands, home gym lines and online sellers that sell hanging slings under their own name.
- Padded slings for the upper arms
- Heavy nylon webbing
- Steel carabiners for the bar
- Logo on the sling or label
- Sold as a matched pair
What Are Ab Straps?
They are padded slings that clip to a pull-up bar so customers hang by their upper arms instead of their hands while doing knee raises, leg raises and oblique twists.
Taking the grip out of the movement lets customers focus on the core for more reps, which is why gyms and home users both buy them.
What Are the Hanging Sling Specifications?
| Specification | Options |
|---|---|
| Webbing | Heavy nylon such as 600D fabric |
| Padding | Foam or EVA, about 5 to 10 mm thick |
| Sling width | Roughly 6 to 7 inches at the arm |
| Length | Around 39 inches, extension straps to order |
| Hardware | Steel carabiners sized for common bars |
| Colors | Black or brand colors |
Which Hanging Sling Styles Can You Order?
Standard Padded Pair
Foam-padded slings with steel carabiners, the classic format for gyms and home bars.
Thick Pad Pair
Extra-deep padding that spreads pressure for heavier users and longer core sessions.
Adjustable Length Pair
Extension straps let customers lower the slings on tall bars or door-frame setups.
Wide Gate Pair
Larger carabiners that clip around thicker rigs and bars where small gates do not fit.
How Is a Hanging Sling Made?
On the Oath and Oak production floor, padding is enclosed in a fabric sleeve, sewn to nylon webbing and finished with a loop that holds the carabiner under box stitching.
Those loops carry the full body weight, so they get the heaviest stitching. Hooks, wraps and cuffs feature in our main strength training accessories range.
How Can You Customize Hanging Slings?
| Element | Customization Options |
|---|---|
| Sling fabric | Color and texture of the pad cover |
| Logo | Print, embroidery or rubber patch |
| Webbing | Color and woven label |
| Carabiners | Size and coating color |
| Packaging | Box, pouch or header card with barcode |
Every branding route is described on our customization page.
How Are Hanging Slings Packed?
Pairs are folded with the carabiners wrapped so the metal does not mark the fabric, then boxed or bagged with an exercise card.
UPC or FNSKU labels go on each pack, and cartons hold a fixed count for easy restocking.
Which Hanging Sling Details Matter Most?
Bar Fit
Small carabiners may not close around thick rigs, so match the gate size to your buyers.
Pad Depth
Deeper padding feels better on the arms, which matters most for heavier customers.
Load Statement
Competitor ratings vary, so print only a figure your brand has confirmed through testing.
What Gets Checked on the Hanging Sling Sample?
You hang in the slings on your bars, check arm comfort and carabiner fit, look at stitching and confirm colors and branding.
Production follows the approved webbing, pad and stitch spec, and every lot is checked against the sample pair. New sling concepts are tested in our product development stage.
How Is Each Lot of Hanging Slings Inspected?
Our quality control process applies these checks to each lot:
- Box stitching at each carabiner loop
- Carabiner gate action and finish
- Pad fill and cover seams
- Webbing length and pair matching
- Logo, labels and exercise card
Slings or Captain's Chair: Which Suits Your Customers?
Both support the body for hanging core work, but they suit different spaces.
| Feature | Slings | Captain’s Chair |
|---|---|---|
| Space | Any pull-up bar | Large floor station |
| Storage | Folds into a bag | Fixed equipment |
| Range | Free hang with full swing control | Back support limits swing |
| Price point | Low | High |
| Customer | Home and travel users | Commercial gyms |
Slings give home customers the same hanging core work in a small pack, and some shoppers search for them as hanging arm loops.
How Do You Order Ab Straps in Bulk?
MOQ and timing are set out in your Oath and Oak quote, based on padding, hardware, colors and packaging.
Share pad depth, carabiner size and artwork through the form. Packed pairs go out by air or sea freight.
What Else Do Buyers Ask About Ab Straps?
Still have a question?
Send your product details for a quote, or reach Oath and Oak through the contact page.
Do the slings fit every pull-up bar?
Standard carabiners fit most bars around 1 to 1.25 inches thick. Thicker rigs need larger gates, so tell us which bars your customers use most.
Can they be used on door-frame bars?
Yes, when the bar sits high enough for legs to hang clear of the floor. Extension straps help on lower bars and are worth offering as an add-on.
Are slings comfortable on the arms?
Deeper padding and a wide sling spread pressure across the upper arm. Thin pads can dig in, which is the most common complaint in product reviews.
What exercises do they suit?
Hanging knee raises, straight-leg raises, oblique twists and leg circles. A printed card with these moves helps new customers start using the slings correctly and safely at home.
Can we sell the slings with other bar accessories?
Yes. Brands often bundle slings with pull-up bands or grips, packed together under one barcode, which raises order value for home gym buyers and online stores.
