SkyDog SDT 2.8 Review

     I recently began carrying SkgDog kites and was anxious to do a review on their Traction kites.  So I ordered up a SDT 2.8m kite to try out. 
     Right out of the box,  the Skydog was different than nearly all Power kites I carry.  Instead of the typical backpack,  this kite came in a very nicely made satule with an over the shoulder strap.  Much like a laptop case. 
     The kite resides in a center section which sinches closed and the accessories were in another section of the bag.  I like this design as it keeps the stuff that could possible rub on your kite during transit away from your kite. 
     A bonus is the place for a business card on the inside of the  snap lock closingflap.

Accessories that come with your kite are fairly standard with a few exceptions:
     The lines are very HQ typical with one exception.  SkyDog does everyone a favor with Yellow brake lines!   Thank you thank you.  The black HQ lines are impossible to see when you are setting up your kite.
     The Ground stake is pretty standard as are the kite killers.
     One of the most unique features are aluminum handles.  These are definitely a step up over the other manufacturers and they have a great feel to them.

Laid out and ready to go,  the SDT 2.8 is a very smart looking kite.  The colors and design are unique and very attractive on the front side of the kite.   BUT...
