If you want to check or ask on the Dutch fora you can check kitehigh.nl or hanglos.nl.

Yes the factory defects where sorted out fine. All good there. As I said for me it is the sum of things that bother me and lately most of all that I need to buy a full bladder set if I only need one.

Can't imagine there is kite gear sold on the dark web. Not a marked for it I think and I would think in that case it is stolen gear.

Thnx for your feedback. Does yours have this roundish stretches too? On the left side of my picture. That's where I have some pin holes in it. I will not use the retainer when I put the bladder back. Instead I will follow a tip that I got on a Dutch forum. Fold the ends inward and then install it. T...
