Only if it is whole life and only if you pay your premiums. I would suggest a waiver of premium rider, just in case you lose you job and are unable to pay, you won't lose coverage!

One more thing,
If i was buying a kite for the first time and just learning how to ride, I would love to have a warranty like that. I never did anything major to my kite, but it got ALOT of use and had about 8 repairs the first year. I think this warranty is a good thing, it means eclipse is standing behind their product, if you put one hole in it the first year and they repair it, maybe the next time you put a hole in it outside the warranty you will send it back to them for repair... |

Translation, BEST or Flexi didn't come up with the idea first so let me try and find a way to put a negative twist on it, even if it is cheap insurance and whether my last kite repair cost well over $60 or not LOL

It is not a bad thing, and would be nice if they offered it as an option. I'd opt for the best possible kite at the best price they can offer and I can assume the risk of damage. If a repair is needed due to a problem with materials or workmanship the company should cover it even if it is beyond their warranty period. I don't think they should charge you up front for repairs that may be due to a defect. That is just me though. I'm a cheap bastard and it galls me what I pay for health insurance that is essentially me betting Aetna $500/month that I will get sick and them betting I won't.

Honestly, I think it's great. In my case though, I haven't had to repair any of my last 7 kites in the past 3 years. Basically I'd have thrown away $420 if I had to pay an extra $60 per kite, regardless of size. But, that said, any warranty is great these days because so few companies have one.. thats ridiculous considering the markup on this stuff. |

Toby,
Was the kite you shredded at the skyway covered under the retroactive part of the warranty policy? Danny |
