New materials are making all of the headlines lately, and Eleveight has also come to the table with new innovations in both their ripstop and dacron. Learn more about their quality materials here.

We at Eleveight believe in prime quality as the foundation of high-performance products. Our R+D team are in constant collaboration with our suppliers to develop innovative materials and push the limits of performance. Our X4 ripstop canopy and the XT high tenacity cloth are a result of our cooperation with different leading material suppliers.

The X4 ripstop canopy is used across our entire kite range and features an ultra-high tenacity polyester cloth with 4 ripstop yarns. The ripstop yarn is spun from several yarns, reinforcing the cloth. The X4 construction also features a special coating with a high-temperature resin finish, including a UV filter.

We use our XT fabric for all inflatable structures (leading edge and struts). It is a highly tear-resistant material that offers the perfect dynamic frame for all Eleveight kite and wing models. The OS - our one strut kite - uses our recently introduced XT light fabric, which is 15% lighter than our normal material and is a perfect match for our light wind kites.

Our customers will notice improvements in performance, where we have achieved less stretch in all directions (0°, 90° & +/- 45°), resulting in precise and responsive flight characteristics. Less elastic fatigue and more rip protection against peak loads, tears, and punctures will result in a product that lasts longer. With the new materials, our kites have enhanced durability with less wear and tear. Our materials have been developed to ensure our customers have a more durable, responsive, high-performance kite.
