so the main reason I borrow the H wing is for my upcoming Hawaii trip. I want a wing that can be packed efficiently. So here is the situation in the middle of packing my dive gears

Left side is Oxycheq 40lb wing. If I try to pack it inside the roller (carry on size), nothing else will go in. Right side upper corner is H Eclipse 30. And for reference, right side lower corner is H Evolve 40. It came from H folded like this. So I have to assume it is save to do so. H wing is just so fold-able.

The H wing is also roll-able, if you take off the inflator hose you can roll it up and fit it nicely within the cam bands of the sta.
 
I have the DUX 14 Everes. Quality-wise it compares well with the Halcyon Evolve 40 I have (but have never dived) . There are a couple of things I don't like about it; the inner bladder is not removable due to the quarter zipper @ the top. Looks like you can patch the inner bladder by rotating it, but it can't come out. This is becoming an interesting thread. Thanks eelnoraa for starting it.
