I know the Cabrinha bar does, any other?
Why isn't that standard anyway, at least for bars without clam cleat?

Ozone 2010 and 2011 gear also has the PU coated depower line.

Never wears out!

Yeh nice and smooth but does anyone find the length dangerously too long! The time I used it I nearly got worked becuase I honesly couldn't reach the bar after I let it go?? What's up with the really long chickenloops, you only need a small distance for a lot of depower nowadays?

If you can't reach the bar just grab the depower line and pull it towards you til you can reach the bar.

Hang on if Icouldn't reach the bar, I'd have hell of a time reaching the depower, unless I depoweredf first, then the trim wouldn't have been right. If they shortened the chicken loop would be a beautiful bar, so smmoooooooth.

Okay, understand. Still, shouldn't have to do that I reckon. I would use the cabrina bar if it had a shorter depower. Hence I use a bar that allows me the reduce the length of the depower.

Cheers for the advice, next time I'm on the switchblades I will remember this (great kite!)
