Multi kite backpack

jgorm - 14-12-2013 at 07:59 AM

My kite addiction is in full swing! I picked up a twister 5.5, but have't had a chance to fly it. Yesterday I got a 2M hornet. (both from BigMikesKites). I have a 2M slingshot on a bar and 3 and 4M twisters. I tried to cram them all into a 80L back backing backpack, but they don't fit well, even if I cram the 3 and 4 M kites into the same bag. What do you guys to to transport multiple kites in some type of backpack?

Sounds like duffel bag time! My outlaw backpacks will hold three kites :)

I carry a 2m Stylus, 5m Tensor, and 8m Toxic in the same bag that the Toxic came in, which is an excellent backpack in general. I have a separate bag for my 12m Charger, but it is expandable so I could proabbly just switch everything over to that one bag honestly.

Spendy (~$170), but a Peter Lynn Gear Bag Pro might be an option.

Angus has a nice page with the breakdown of features:

Should be available through your nearest PL authorized dealer.

Most of my stuff gets shuttled around in one of the B.A.D. (Best American Duffel) bags or a Series 3 Sportube.

I use the PKD travel bag, a paraglider bag,(both the PKD and paraglider bags hold more than a full set of Centuries with lines, handles, harnes, helmet, and wind meter, gps, lunch, camera, phone, toilet paper and clean shorts), a hockey bag with wheels, then my truck and then the trailer. After that, not sure.

I use a ford E150 van. If I outgrow that then I may admit to having a problem.

What Mainekite said.
I'd hate to have wrong toy's on board so I bring them all...

We have the Gear Pack Pro's in stock as well. Great bag for all your gear plus some. The van idea is also a good one. :) I have a trailer that packs all my gear....I kinda outgrew the van. LOL

I found a travel bag for golf clubs works well. Even has rollers. Picked one up for around $40

Thanks for the tips. The Gear pack looks like a good option, but I found a way to cram them into the pack I already have. The gear pack looks a lot wider, and much lighter, but my wife wont let me buy more kite stuff after i just bought the 5.5 twister and the hornet in the past 30 days. I put the 3 and 4 meter twister's into the the same bag and the 5.5 twister and the 2m hornet in the same bag. The bags from my older twisters are bigger than the bags the new peter lynn kites come in. Luckily the backpack can open the sleeping bag spot so it is a straight through stuff sack. I can wait to get out and get drug around and get some hang time! Let me know if you cant see the pics.

good price, I have one also, it will hold my Apexx and the bigfoots if I let out the air and sit on it as I zip it closed.
