get Q power, ive never had a set myself , but the fact that you dont have to sheeth, simply tie yer knots and GO.
i like to have atleast 600lbs , i would like a set of 800lb.
i want to know what the snow kiters use when they soar down cliff sides.
how does the cold effect the lines.
sorry for hijacking yer thread,

I use standard Ozone 15m 180/110Kg lines on almost all kites, I have not broke a line yet.
I used to use Combat speed 240/160Kg lines on all kites, never had any problems. I switched because I felt ist was a little overkill.
Remember big kites don't need strong lines, it's the little kites that will bring a line to its limits!

15 m is not a common stock length for commercial finished line sets, so Q-Power might be a good idea since you can tie off loops wherever you want
without additional sleeving.
They make 300 and 200 lb line for your mains and brakes. They make 600 lb which is a bit much but nothing in between.
Most commercial finished sets are around 440/ 220 lbs for fixed bridle foils and 600/ 600 for de-power
