LaunchPad Kite Bag

LaunchPad Kite Bag

The LaunchPad kite bag is wonderfully versatile, designed by actual kitefliers to meet the demands of travel, whether it's to your local flying field or around the world to a distant festival.

Of course, it's got plenty of room for your quiver of kites, but it's also got custom space for your linesets, spare parts, and tools. The outside straps have sections to secure the loose end of the strap and which you can also clip or tie stuff to. And unless you don't have enough kites and are cinching the thing down as small as it goes, there will be a nice patch of exposed fuzzy velcro, so why not throw some patches on there for a little personalization?

The whole thing unrolls to create a clean, dry space to assemble your kite without any parts getting lost in the sand. It rolls back up to accommodate your kites, whether you've left the leading edges together or broken them down to half-length.

• Dedicated pockets for 9 kites and 8 linsets, with capacity for 20+ kites fully loaded.
• Rolls up at full length, half length, or anything in between.
• Detachable ground cloth so you can go fast and light with just a few kites rolled in the exterior shell.
• Mesh pockets drain sand so you don’t bring home the beach.
• Rugged, padded outer shell protects your collection from the elements and airline baggage belts.
• Contoured, grippy shoulder strap for a comfortable carry.
• Fits odd-shaped items too, like soft kites and hoop winders.
• Zippered internal pouch for small items, accessible without unrolling the bag.
• Oversized buckles and premium webbing for long life.
• No dangling straps- strap ends hook in securely through the full capacity range.

If your kite bag doesn't do all that, do yourself a favor and pick one of these up to make the most of your time when you're not flying. It also makes a great gift! (Though its large capacity does seem to attract more kites, so that's just something to be aware of if you're giving it to your spouse.)

Bag only. Kites sold separately. (Though if you're looking at this, we're guessing that's not an issue.)
