353lb x 98ft Dyneema Flying Line Set vs Prism Dyneema Kite Line Set
Buy the Prism set for most fliers: it is a complete, ready-to-fly package with two sleeved, color-coded lines, flight straps and a winder, rated at 90 lb. Buy the Kitty Hawk Kites set only if you need a much stronger, much longer line for a large power kite, since 353 lb at 98 ft far exceeds the Prism's 90 lb at 65 ft. The Prism set is the better value for a first or general-purpose line set.

Questions and answers
- Which set is better for a beginner?
- The Prism set. It comes with straps and a winder and is rated for small to mid-size kites, so it is ready to fly out of the box.
- Can the Prism set handle a large power kite?
- No. Its 90 lb capacity is far below the Kitty Hawk Kites set's 353 lb, so it is not suited to high-pull kites.
- Is the Kitty Hawk Kites set worth it for a small kite?
- Usually not. At 353 lb and 98 ft it is much stronger and longer than a small kite needs, and you still need your own straps and winder.
- Do the lines come color-coded?
- The Prism lines are sleeved and color-coded. The Kitty Hawk Kites listing does not state color-coding.
- Which set lasts longer?
- The Kitty Hawk Kites set has a much higher strength rating, so it has more margin against wear and load. The Prism set is fine for light to moderate use.
