Why This Line Works for Many Flyers

This bulk kite line is a practical choice if you want to upgrade the test strength of your current line or add extra length to your existing spool. The polyester material is chosen for its durability and resistance to the elements. Since it's braided, the line lies flat and resists twisting, which can improve handling during flight. Whether you're flying a small delta kite or a larger parafoil, the 80 lb rating gives you confidence in windy conditions.

In the Breeze has been producing kites and accessories for over three decades, and this line reflects their focus on reliable components. It's also available in other strengths and lengths, but this 80 lb x 500 ft version offers a good balance of strength and length for most recreational kites.

How Does This Compare to Other Kite Lines?

Kite line comes in different materials, including nylon and Dacron, but polyester is a common choice for its low stretch and UV resistance. The 80 lb test is a mid-to-high strength rating, suitable for kites that generate significant pull. If you need more strength, In the Breeze offers higher test lines, but for most single-line kites and many dual-line kites, 80 lbs is sufficient.

Using This Line with Your Kite

This bulk line is designed as a replacement or extension. If your kite's original line is too short or too light, you can swap it out with this 80 lb, 500-foot line. Simply remove the old line and attach this one to your kite's bridle using a standard knot. The braided texture holds knots well. For longer flights, you can also use this line as an extension by tying it end-to-end with your existing line.
