I am having problems with my chicken loop releasing from my harness when fully powered up and when boosting.
It seems that when I pull the bar in fully the red sleeve pushes up and releases.
just wondering if there is anyone else who have experienced the same problem , and if there is a solution to stop this from occurring.
The bar is from 2013 TS model and it happens on both my 8mtr and 10mtr kites.
Looks like a known issue in pre-2013 bars, and looks like your bar isn't 2013, but older.

Nope both my bars are a newer version than those in the videos!
After looking at the second video , my bars are exactly the same as the second and it seems that the red plastic sleeve may not have a tight enough elastic to hold the quick release.
Thanks for posting it.
will try and contact supplier for new elastic
Not always the cloop or donk dick, if your a regular booster or jumper the harness spreader bar can be the culprit, worth checking

We sorted Jeff with some new bungee and he is a happy camper.

I had the same problem last weekend in 30+ knots doing a downwinder from Dutch Inn to City Beach. Really struggled to reload the chicken loop too and had to swim in after lines were twisted from fluttering kite - bumped the clear red cuff after a bottom turn and next thing the kite is in the water.
Also noticed that my 10m's slider has almost destroyed the mini bridle line. Not happy with the quality on a kite I've had for about a year, seems my old Nemi's were much better made and my 2009 bar is still going strong (as a spare).
Temporarily solved the cuff releasing by tying a knot in the bungee, but still seems REALLY loose - have never punched out either!
