Dan the problem is I have not seen wear like this on kite lines, ever. That fuzz is broken strands and when I see a lot of color change, that usually means UV damage.
And I don’t leave my bar out. I kite or put it away.
And yes used with pigtails. And just changing the pigtails makes you wonder as the line seems very delicate when you loosen the loop.
Would I have been ok on the lines a bit longer? probably. But that is not the point. They are showing signs of wear worse than other kite lines.
This is what I expect to see in the picture below. No or virtually no fuzz. Used constantly for the last 5 months which is the heart of my season.
I expect to see some fading in color especially around the ends of at the kite as they rub against each other when you sort out the lines. I do not expect to see a lot of fuzz.
Again, I have not seen this type of wear with fuzz and fading of the entire line in my 19 years.
Not to mention these are not as strong or stiff as say the new sk99 lines which a lot of companies are using, including north.
So again, they wear faster, shrink more, discolor faster, are not as stiff, and not as strong as offering from other kite companies. And they apparently cost just as much.
If you bought new brake pads and they wore out in 3 months instead of 6 months like your old ones, and squealed more and didn’t stop as well as your previous pair and cost more would you think that was normal?
