Kiwi Slides are manufactured from Dupont Zytel FE15015, a glass filled nylon, with heavy Dacron tape tails (also available with extra long tails).
| Model | Foil Groove | Breaking Strain (pounds) |

Note: The above breaking strain tests were carried out on Reef-Rite foil extrusions. During the tests, the extrusion began to spread before any sign of Kiwi Slide failure. Foil extrusions from other manufacturers may not reach these figures.
