Kitelife Equipment Protectant

UPDATE... gear arrived this morning, not complete order = KGBswap screwed up, not a good start..

1 - I purchased ages ago - it was only shipped on the 26th of May

2 - I indicated work address on 'ship to' -> it was sent home. The problem is that I am not home at time PO is open so I have to get out of work early to pick it up - It is well stated on packing slip that the address to post to is my work one

3 - I purchased 2 sets - only arrived 1 (see photo below from Iphone). The packing slip clearly shows 2 sets... As soon as I got the package I knew they had screwed up as there was no way you could have put 2 sets (6 bottles) inside such a small box.

WTF?... KGBswag:

1 - what do you say to this? Another bad night?
2 - when will you send the 2nd complete set?
3 - are you going to make sure it comes to the right address?

PS:
And I haven't even started testing... Well, I hope the rest of the world is not reading this. Imagine if this thread was posted by accident on Kiteforum and such others..

and they are doing such a good job saving the florida coastline atm as well

haha so true. This is a wonder product after all

Oh sheeeiiite! here we go with the lawyers again!

In before lock!

no doubt being american he cannot figure out how to reply to something that has originated from outside the united states . I was amazed they managed to mail the package . Maybe he had to consult an inflatible globe to find out where australia is

Unfortunately there is no composition or technical information on the bottles whatsoever. All it says is the marketing blurb and application instructions but no breakdown of contents. I will photograph the bottles and post tomorrow.

After an email explaining what had happened I finally received on Monday night this reply: " Sorry for that, sending more now"... - 1/2 a line..

I seriously don't care about it, I just want the product to work so I haven't wasted my money. I will not be using the kitelife protectant on my kites until I tested it properly. I am going to cut some strips of an old kite and treat half with the product place them all outside in the sun and weather and observe every 2 days to see if there is a difference between the 'treated' and not. I will post results and only if I am satisfied I will protect my kites.

I have 2 Cabrinha IDS bars exactly the same so I have treated the lines of 1 bar and not the other. Let's see what happens there as well. This was the main reason why I bought the product since the IDS Cab lines have shown more signs of use than any other model before. I wanted somehting to treat the lines as mine are a little frayed.. so we'll see.

Keep an eye on this thread. Tks for asking.

Lol

I think we should pass the hat around for Sir V as he's clearly taking one for the team here...

After have them on drive way why not make some curtians out of them and hang them up on the window look cool
and they would get a heaps of sun and wind movement aswell
see if one fades more than the other and just forget about them for a year and then have a look at them .

i'd trial it on your trailer first... just in case

Hey V
How are the lines after a dunking??

Forgot to add... the funniest of things..

Yesterday I kited until I was so cold I couldn't move my fingers so I landed the kite and left the lines on the beach next to the kite for a while. Tide was coming in and they got a little wet and sandy. When I went to pack the gear I got the worst birds nest ever.

I had never had one before and we all had a big laugh about it.. what is the likelyhood of this happening.. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the product. I was the idiot that left the lines in the wind and water because I was too cold to do anything about it.

But untangling was actually quite easy because the lines were slinding easily as if they were new and waxed, but softer.

My mates and I all thought it was quite funny I had my first tangle ever on treated lines. I could go on and blame the product but that would be stupid

Peace and good winds,

V
