Great quality
Good quality. Exactly what I needed. Good service
THIS IS A GOOD ONE. IT FIT JUST RIGHT AND LOOKS LIKE IT WILL LAST A LONG TIME.
Shipment arrived as promised, very satisfied with service.
Fast shipping. Seems to be high quality. I have been using windsocks from CCI. They only last about 9 months until they break at the crease. This one is much more flexible & looks like it should last a lot longer. Reasonably priced too!
I have been buying these windsock for years. I have a grass runway in Hawaii. The sun is really hard on windsock here in Hawaii . But these last long time in the Sun and the rain. Very happy with them. I definitely recommend them.
I like the extra long life windsock. I have had my airstrip for 19 years and it is the only windsock I buy. They last over 2 years in the harshest environment.
I would give these windsocks a five star rating if they would only a a few more grommets to secure it to the frame. With only five grommets the opening does not make a full circle so it’s not as efficient as it could be. For only a few cents it would cost to add just a couple extra grommets it could be twice the product, makes no sense.
Edmonton Soaring Club (field at Chipman, Alberta): bought & installed two 36X144 Extra Long Life Windsocks p/n 13-02042 in 2015. They are stored Oct-April each year both need to be replaced in 2018 due to fading and/or ripping. This 3 to 3.5 year lifespan is almost double that of the 1-2 year lifespan of p/n 13-06471 (not Extra Long Life) but costs only 25% extra.
Purchased the 18X60 Extra Long Life Windsock. P/N: 13-20114, Lasted approx. 14 months in the Philippines. I will be replacing with a Scotts Windsock based on reviews.
