2011 Material

PRINTED CANOPY MATERIAL

We roll print the pattern directly onto the raw, unfinished material. The performance finishing process of the material takes place after the roller printing. The benefit of this, is that the ink is now printed directly onto raw unfinished fibers of the base material so there is an excellent absorption of the inks. Since the finishing process takes place afterwards, this seals the inks permanently into the fibers in comparison to screen printing on top of the slippery, water repellant chemicals used in the finishing process.

Since the inks are printed directly onto the raw white color material there is a very high absorption of the inks so the printed graphic is nearly the same on both sides of the material. When backlit from the sun the material is nearly identical on both sides. This also this makes extremely vibrant colors and illuminated designs previously unavailable using typical screen printing processes. Another Industry first for Cabrinha.

HIGH PERFORMANCE RACE FABRICS

The canopy is a laminate material using a lightweight double rip-stop sub-straight (base) material, fused together with a thin layer of polyester film. The total material weight is within a couple of grams per square meter to normal 53gsm canopy material.

NEW KITE LINES

The flying lines are now monofilament wound Dyneema lines. These high strength lines are not only low stretch and durable but are also much easier to manage when setting up your kite.
