I don't think watching kite videos and reading the forum all winter is going to sustain me, so just in case I get the crazy notion to take a kite out
this winter with skates or a board, how cold is too cold for the Dyneema and rip-stop?
I can't imagine it can be very good for your kite and lines to be out when the air is less than 0 (Fahrenheit) but I really don't know - the operating
temperature range isn't part of the kite specs...:wink2:markite - 24-10-2011 at 01:51 PM
many of us that in the winter have flown in way colder. There is more risk to yourself with exposed skin to extreme cold and wind more than any kite
damage. There are days when you try to cover as much exposed skin as possible and fingers start to freeze within a few seconds of taking gloves off,
nostrils freeze as you breath, ice collects from your breath....shehatesmyhobbies - 24-10-2011 at 01:59 PM
Check out this video. Around the 34 second mark the temp is shown on the dash!

Dyneema stays flexible to -125°C :o
Kites have been used to cross Greenland and Antarctica.
