My last two Ozone bags are great. Nice front pocket. Very good plastic zipper.
Absolutely hate the older ones. 2012-ish. Maybe just been unlucky, but the zippers would all fail.

Re: Do Kite Bags Suck?
I will say most of the kite bags I've had were crap. Too small to be practical in most cases.
However, I have some kite bags from some 2011-2013 Epic kites. Those bags are hands down the best kite bags EVER. They are enormous, with zippers that allow for easy packing. I use two of them and I can fit 2 kites in each - 14 & 6 in one and 11 & 8 in the other. The bags are so big they have buckle straps that can carry a board vertically if being worn as a backpack. There's also a separate sleeve for a bar, and straps for a pump on the opposite side. I'm not sure what Dimitri was smoking when he chose to sell them, but he should keep smoking that shit - and share it with other brands too.

Re: Do Kite Bags Suck?
My kite bags never see the light of the day. I carry my kites in compression bags to local trips, in duffel bags to long trips by car and in compression bags (in check-in) for flights.
