Im going to buy 2 straightline side lounges this year but before I do I know there is 2 other companies that make a simular sac. Fly High and one other. I remember somone saying that one of them is better for filling and empty'n. Anyone know or ever used these sacs? thanks

i have a lauch pad 350 and a flyhigh 600 and a fly high fat seat, all fill and empty easy. The only thing ive noticed is some sacs have those flaps where the pump screws down, and i feel they make it a little hard to insert the pump.

by the looks of it the launch pads look like there made better then the fly highs

I have a pair of launch pad twins, a fly high locker and a 600lb fly high sack. I would have to give a 11/10 for launch pad and 5/10 for fly high.

One problem I have is the fly high outer bags only have small zips at each end so getting the bladder in and out is a real pain in the ass. The launch pad ones have a full length zip so it is easy to pull the bladders in and out.

A problem you get a lot, is when the bladders are empty they twist about within the outer. With the fly high ones you have to sick your hand through a small zip to reposition everything and it need to be bang on otherwise the pump wont fit. With the launch pad ones all you do is unzip the full length of the outer and easily reposition the inner.

I am not saying not to buy fly high as it makes a top quality product, but I personally was a bit disapointed when I got them home and found it was a pain to use compared to the lauch pad ones.
