Sounds about right. There are coatings that can be applied, with risks that come with it. Personally, I wouldn't bother with anything more than the coatings that come on fabrics. The risks of getting sticky, tacky, stiff, or yellowing are worse to my mind than the effect of fading due to age. Of course, I also have a small stock of Icarex / PC31 fabric that is coated, and UV-treated thread. Many kites are built from the stuff, but some are not. Ultimately kites are meant to be flown. Fly it, love it, let it get the UV damage from sunlight, damage from flapping in the wind, and when it's eventually battered and weathered and worn, retire it. If you're flying it enough that it is damaged due to wear and sunlight that means it's a well loved kite. -

Being laid off from my job is forcing me to dip into my large Prism kite collection, most of what I have are classic and discontinued. This is the first one up. A Prism Nexus 5-stack, rainbow. Flown maybe 2-3 times. Comes with original Prism dual configuration bag: either store stack assembled and flat, or as a roll with kites broken down. Fairly easy to assemble (just larks head lead lines to short leads on next kite) See photo for example of both storage options (2 rolled are in bag slots). Stack is shipped with pack rolled. Price is $250 plus whatever shipping would be to location (to be computed prior to completion of sale). Payment by PayPal preferred. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Comes with lines, wrist straps and tails (which really is the fun part). Condition is like new. -
