  Prism's bestselling, high-flying 5-foot delta kite

  It’s the next generation of Prism's best selling, high flying 5-foot delta, with a fresh new look and a redesigned wing for extra stability on those days when the wind is gusty or turbulent.

  Folds up to 21” so you can take it anywhere, with snap-on tails that will break free if you ever get them tangled in a tree.

  Bungees inside the frame make it a cinch to assemble: rods snap into place like tent poles with no separate parts to lose in the grass. Prism quality and attention to detail throughout, with an easy-to-use hoop winder and quality braided line.

Footprint sold separately.

What's the difference between the Zenith and the Stowaway Delta?
The Zenith shares the same frame parts and wingspan of the Stowaway Delta, but Prism has redesigned the wing and balance point to be more stable and forgiving in gusty or fluky winds. The extended wingtips with removable tails help the kite to self-correct when the wind gusts or changes direction, and if the wind dies momentarily the kite floats in a perfect attitude to start flying again when the wind comes back, rather than stalling and falling to the ground. The sail and bag are printed with fresh new patterns, and the new travel sleeve includes instructions on the back and a carabiner to make retrieval easy in stronger winds.

You pay...

Removing Dead Bodies from Mount Everest Is Dangerous and Expensive. Here’s Why.
  In 2019, a Nepali mountaineer and rescue specialist named Gesman Tamang led a team of six onto 27,838-foot Makalu to recover the body of a climber who had died in the so-called “death zone” above 26,000 feet.

Camp on a Cot: Helinox Debuts Limited-Release ‘Off-the-Ground’ Tents
  Youd be forgiven for thinking Helinox only makes camp furniture. The South Korean brand is virtually synonymous with lightweight, packable chairs, tables, and cots that assemble like freestanding tents.   What you might not know is that across the pond (the really big pond) in Japan, Korea, and elsewhere, Helinox is also known for its tents and shelters.   But this week,...
