Hey

i use the multi kite bag from revolution its a nice bag, the only problem i having is that im starting to get to many revs they can not all be in the bag...

i have hear some use something like a long sports bag, one big room and having the revs in there sleeves, but what do you do whit the lines and handle, do you just drop them down there and search for what you need then you are out flying..

so my quistions is what bag do you use and how you store lines and handles.?.?.?.

I use a 136 cm Level Nine Snowboard bag Heino. I have eight Revs in seven sleeves and a bunch of extra frames in the main pocket and it can hold easily two more Revs. The only draw back to the bag is that the only extra pocket at the end is small. I have four line sets in there, a stake, and can fit one set of handles. The Revs don't fill up the entire main compartment length wise and there is plenty of room for handles and such.

The bag is well built, has quality zippers, and is really inexpensive. I paid about $34usd ($200 Krone) delivered.

I use Revolution's bag, but for the same price a gal will custom craft one in the exact image you see fit,...

Her name escapes me, but somebody on here knows her!

how many pockets do you desire? How many kite sleeves shall fit into each one? Do you want a "drop cloth" that folds out, to sit on during set-up? How about custom embroidery, at least your stylized name? Want pockets for handles and line winders? Mesh or solid walled, velcro or fold-over closures?

Dugard has one of these bags and it is both appropriate for large quantities of Revs as well as well organized. For the same price basically!!!! Beautiful design and well made, durable material with all the most useful hardware.

Personally?, I carry one Rev bag and might tailor those contents to fit a specific occasion, but my family owns 3 of 'em. The misses uses hers for single line kites and my overflow Revs are tucked into another that stays home. The thing is.... you really only need about half a dozen revs to cover all conditions. You buy some more and the old ones get bumped from your A-bag. But really you need an Indoor, an SUL, a full sail, a mid-vent, a Shook 75% and a howlin' wind only model.

I carry a 12 kites at a minimum in my Rev bag, in sleeves, 6 sets of handles w/line wound-on, a big fist-full of extra frame members, at least two lights sets and some basic tools, supplies and parts. All my kites currently being "A-bag rated" are made by one of only 3 individuals, Dave (Ashworth), Bazzer or Eliot. All but the indoor and 100% Shook mesh kites listed below were made to my specific requirements too, many with furnished leading edge material of mylar backed nylon. Extra reinforcing patches are built-in and a lighter weight leading edge sleeve material used, plus it is sewn tighter to the frame members, such that only one tube fits inside the sleeve and it is pretty snug alone!

~( 2) indoor customs, one Ryv-like and other based upon Steve LaPorte' Spirit (both made by Dave Ashworth)

~ Zen custom with extra Diamond frame members (Made by both Shook and Bazzer)

~ B-pro Full sail, custom, diamond frame (Made by both Shook and Bazzer)

~ (2) "Old Glory" SUL Masterpieces with Race frame (one French and one stock bridle, kites by Bazzer)

~40% Shook weave SUL masterpiece, custom, diamond frame

~ B-pro Mid vent SUL, custom, diamond frame (SUL by Bazzer)

~(2) 75% Shook weave masterpiece "Ghosts", custom SUL sail construction, (Race frames)

~ B-pro full vent, SUL custom with green race travel frame (bazzer)

~ 100% Shook with 4 wraps or Green Race (thru the AKA auction, before licensing was approved by REv)

nice.. but then you like me live a little country and you have to drive to another country just to a little kite to select from, he only have the normal rev EXP, SLE and b-serie. other models he will not sell, and as i have found out he very expensive about 500$ for a b-series standart..

and there is nowhere i can get a bag made in Denmark with out pay a lot of $ for it. and if i import it from a none EU country i most likely pay about 75% import tax...

i know that i dont need a b-series STD, B-series custom STD and NYM in the bag. but i dont know before am on the field what rev i want to fly today.. i want some thing to select from.. :-) that is just me :-)
