With so many valves popping off bladders when kites are left to cook in hot cars ...
should they make insulated kitebags so they work like esky coolers ?
You can buy soft-style eskys, you know.
I have one for going on picnics.

Just let them breath and keep it out of direct sun light.
Esky bags will just keep the moisture in and still get hot unless you put something cold in it.

Empty the sand out of your launch pad(paitent pending) slave and stick your kite in there if your having problems

Was all excited from the title thought a kite company had sewn in a esky section in a kite bag to keep my erm water cool.

What about one of those cane picnic baskets (thats what I use ), it would let it breathe. Also they come with a blanket you could wrap it up in winter.

I heard cabrihna tried them but the kites kept getting caught in them
and Fone ended up scraping them and putting em in their boards

damp kite in insulated bag would eventually get hot and sweaty and probably lead to values coming away from bladders a bit quicker I reckon. ventilation in better imo

I vote yes to beer coolers being incorporated into kite bags. Come on, who wouldn't? Do we need to take it to a vote?
