Cabrinha cheap FX kite bags

Postby kitet » Sun Oct 11, 2015 6:54 am

C'mon Cabrinha! Why go so cheap on the FX kite bags??? Love the kite but the bag is very cheap. What is the justification to sell the FX with a bag that is so different and so cheap compared to the Switchblade, Drifter, Chaos... This is disappointing and not we are used to from Cabrinha.

it is the 2016 bag for all Cab kites not just the FX.

I'm not sure if you are talking about the 2015 or 2016 bag but the 2015 FX bag was missing straps for a bar and a pump which they added on to the 2016 bag. I agree the 2015 bag was a little too simplistic but they fixed the issues I had with it on the 2016 bag. I actually kinda like the roll top design. No more risk of pinching a piece of canopy in a zipper and no more worries about breaking a zipper.

Does the 2016 bag have a small pouch with a zipper to store stuff?

I have a 2015 kite bag and agree it is an underwhelimg bag, particularly when you spend a lot of money on a kite.

Nope, it does not. Unfortunately. And that's my point.

this bag sucks, no pouch and getting the kite back in the bag is hard since the opening is at the top

I do not like having my pump in the same bag as my kite rubbing against it, wearing at the canopy.

I am glad they "fixed" the bag. Kind of wished they would have done that earlier.

2015 was terrible simpel but 2016 they put a nice option to store your pump and your bar on the outside of the bag. But no zipper store for small things unfortenate.Sorry for my poor english writhing.

My Velocity's have that bag....I LOVE it. So clean, simple an easy to use with no stupid zipper to get stuck.
