The hyperlight kites
There are 5 very light zero-wind kites which we are able to manufacture using translucent Dyneema Composite Fabric. These kites are:
- even lighter than with an Icarex sail
- floating slower in zero wind
- a tad more efficient in mellow wind

Dyneema Composite Fabric
formerly called Cuben Fiber
aka Spectra Laminate Edition
Dyneema colors
Dyneema Composite Fabric white is constructed with colorless fibers between the mylar films. It resembles the lighter material of the "I'll be back urban flow edition". But since the fibres are a bit stronger, they absorb more light and appear a bit whitish. That's why we call it "white" instead of "clear".
The green Dyneema Composite Fabric has yellowish-green layers of mylar and every couple of feet stripes with a slightly higher saturation appear. The colour is complex, a touch of "beige" is also present. The laminate is similarly translucent to that of the other editions.
Blue Dyneema Composite Fabric has the highest color saturation among these special kites. The clearly visible and quite irregular stripes make for a subtly individual kite. Rare and no longer available from the manufacturer.
In the Dyneema Composite Fabric silver the Dyneema fibres are a tad darker and the mylar layers slightly grey, again with the typical irregular stripes. The material is similarly translucent as the blue or green editions, but shimmers a tad more under hard direct lighting. It looks like silver. Rare.
