Awesome service, quick delivery and super easy to navigate website. Helmet fits perfectly (thanks Adam for the help with sizing) and has a lip which offers sun protection too, perfect for my trip to Egypt.

Bangproof bucket helmet

This helmet has been absolutely great. Bought it for summer winging, it does a great job keeping the sun off my face and neck, providing much more sunshade than my normal helmet, the brim is stiff enough to hold its shape when wet and in strong winds, and doesn’t restrict visibility. It feels comfy and flexible, but still feels like it offers good impact protection. Dries quickly enough in the sun. All in all very happy with it.

Really impressive piece of kit

Really glad I got hold of this trainer kite which has helped me practise when the wind wasn't quite right for getting on the water. The bar comes with a chicken loop and final eject, just like the real deal. Self launching is simple, place the kite upside down on the ground with the leading edge downwind, give the lines a pull and you're away! The depower bar isn't quite the same as a full kite but definitely simulates the increase in pull.

Great helmet

It's more comfortable to wear compared to a hard-shell helmet. I hardly notice it is there. You get much less water running into your eyes after you fall in which is a bonus. Also, I've used it in the rain; the brim is just big enough to keep some of it off your face so that you can still see where you're going.

Brilliant Kite

I got a great deal on this kite. A 10% first time buyer discount plus a free hand leash, all with free delivery.
The kite arrived promptly minus the free hand leash. After a couple of messages the hand leash was duly posted out with no problems.
This kite flies like a dream. The video attached shows me flying the kite in 7-8mph winds. I’ve also flown in 15mph winds but this needed more concentration and if you aren’t focusing 100% then you could get uprooted! I would definitely recommend this kite from this company.
