We stock a number of bags designed specifically for the needs of the kite flier.

Full size compression bag
This bag is 1.5m tall. It has 4 straps round the outside with clam buckles. Good choice when your airline baggage limit is 32Kg or 70lb
Classic bag
The return of the original Peter Lynn compression bag, also 1.5m long. This uses three Dyneema lines through rings rather than 4 straps and buckles. This saves weight (around 200g per bag) and gives better mechanical advantage when crushing down fully packed bags. It has no additional pockets as those increase the length when crushed and add weight. Good choice when your airline baggage limit is 32Kg or 70lb
3/4 compression bag
Similar to the full size bag but shorter, designed for a single maxi kite. It has a zipped pocket at one end for line and/or pilot. Good choice when your airline baggage limit is 23Kg or 50lb
Midi crush bag
A lightweight bag with plastic clip buckles. The right size for a single midi kite.
XL Midi crush bag
A lightweight bag with plastic clip buckles. The right size for a 12m Whaleshark or a train.
Mini crush bag
Similar to the midi crush bag but smaller. Suitable for a mini kite or a pilot.
Line bag
A simple, lightweight bag with a drawstring closure.
For air travel, you may want a compression bag. Capable of containing two maxi kites (or three if you are really determined), the strapping system to allow you to crush it down to a size where the airline won't complain too much. Used compression bags (that don't attract the attention of customs) are more valuable than new ones.
