Recently bought a Radsail Pro II 7.0m Kite and wanted to comment on the: Radsail Pro II handles w/End Caps.
Upon opening my bag you cant help but look and pause on these things, they are thick and beefy.
The thickness of the handles with molded rubber top ends to assist with grip. What Truly stands out from ALL other handles is Radsails use of two molded end caps for Line wrapping. They take what has only been seen in flight bars and creates a Hybrid line management system for Handles. After several sessions I must say that unwinding flight line from these handles is a treat and gets me flying sooner where I would be untangling still using the conventional wrapping of lines around my handles technique.
The Lines themselves are color coded RED & BLUE for easy set up. When my Rad7 pulls, it Pulls like a train and rings these handles out in a hurry. I Have a couple large paws and I must say they feel solid on these handles and I have no fear of breakage like some of the Flexifoil handles have done.

After some time I have noticed that the backline of my breaks is pushing out of the sleeve like a small nylon tumor. It doesn't effect flight as its the back break line which is not attached to the kite but I thought it worth mentioning.
In conclusion I think Radsail handles are solid and up to the job for any kite you throw at them. People with small hands will need to judge for themselves if these tubes are too big..... In time my back break line tumor may spread into the tube itself and I will need to replace it. But I don't see that happening for a long time.
