Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Hello, Just to share a bit of my research in case this may be of help to others, since I found the information confusing on which Zip Line kit to purchase until I spent many, many hours comparing information (Amazon & Ebay) and comparing reviews as well. The difference between the Eagle and the Hawk (Both produced by Brand 44) is the Eagle includes a seat (good to know if you have small children, however you can add a seat to the Hawk). Both otherwise appear to be the exact stainless steel cable 3/16" (choose your length carefully since one reviewer mentioned getting a 63' when ordering a 70'---This seems to be mentioned only once however, it could be a fluke) The most important thing to me is safety & durability, both the Eagle and the Hawk have steel bearings, which are logically very important since they will get wear with use and hold up better to the elements. I immediately narrowed down my selection to this brand when I found out that major difference. (Both have a generous 200+ weight capacity, I've read conflicting information on the weight between 200-250 lbs., so I would assume the lesser just to be on the safe side) ;Make sure to plan ahead and buy or I opted to make a tree hugger to protect the tree or post, if you read the reviews the protective cover seem to be overpriced wood strips and astro-turf with velcro. I'm going to experiment & will let you know the results. Hope this information will help other newbie zip line researchers, good luck & safe Zipping, and have a fun summer!
