SHBKF Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I usually just carry several kites loose in the vehicle not bothering with a kite bag. When I get to the field I grab the few I wish to fly and put the line sets in my back pockets. For major hauling I use a pickup or maybe get out the ultimate kite hauler. My ultimate kite hauler is a small custom trailer for all the goodies. Shelf on the drawbar holds a full size cooler. Also has patio umbrella & mount for shade. Sides fold out to make bench seats. Three drop down legs make it stable when unhooked. Dualies can be stored with leading edges fully assembled. Entire top hinges upward for access & top is a great kite table. SHBKF The other car is my wife's...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitedad Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Once you've had bag you never go back. seriously though, I bought one of andy's kite bags at ocean shores kite back in june, there were only two kinds, the prizm one and some Chinese one. Can you guess which one I bought, ok so I'm a bargin hunter I bought the Chinese one, I like the looks, has shoulder straps and a handle in the middle but the only thing that holds it shut is velcro sewn in four places, I wanted a more secure attachment so I sewed three 1/1/2 in nylon straps with buckles to it. two near the ends and one in the middle. I had to re-sew a few places that had come unraveled but its pretty good now, I like it once I fixed everything, but unless you have a sewing machine, might want to get a better bag,. Price was about 50$ cheaper than the prizm bag so I'm cool with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Flyin Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 The Fishing Rod Bags rollup type are nice to have for kite storage. Lots of compartment to store extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul LaMasters Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Brianne Howard's custom bag service is the ticket if you can describe or visualize your objectives sufficiently, AND she is a joy to work with besides! She made my mini-rev stacks carrier from the attached diagram, it is perfect and worth every penny. I doubt you could intentionally create anything more complex than that thing I am very happy with the large sized Orvis Fishing case too,... holds 10-15 revs and all the bits in a tightly padded carry-on Brianne's Case.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hengdakite Fan Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Old post but still relevant I think. I bought a very large cloth with reinforced bottom laundry bag from Walmart, it has a draw string opening and a shoulder strap with outside pockets that zip closed, so all my small parts go in there, swivels and spar caps. It is cheap, holds twenty of my kites and easily replaced if it wears out. I carry tails, spools, and small kites in a bag I made from a nylon pillowcase, I put a drawstring in the opening.
