They don't seem to be shipping yet. Has anyone managed to get hold of one to try out?

I got to see these new wing in Dive and Travel Expo in Santa Clara. They appear well make. Internal bladder is coated nylon type, not urathane, so should be less prone to pitch flat. However, I don't understand the bungee part. Internal or external, why there at all. Hollis, for a few time, has made "interesting" choices.

Bungies have gotten a bad name thanks to OMS and their lift bag wings. When you look at the picture of their huge wing in the DIR fundies book you can't help but laugh. The wing must be a PITA to dive due to the size and the drag. However, my Zeagle Express Tech wing has bungies and it is nice and streamlined. I would imagine it is better to have the bungies on the inside so they don't present an entanglement risk. On thing about Hollis is they do tend to refresh their wings ever couple of years.
