    Oxycheq Mach V wing question

    I have the 30lb wing. I opened up the zipper for some cleaning and found that the inner bladder is much bigger than the outtter shell. When inflated, the inner bladder is folded in a few places inside. The maximum volumn of the wing is actually control by the outter bladder. Is this normal??

    I cant answer your question but would suggest you post this on Oxycheqs forum or assuming you are in the US perhaps you could call them directly. Good luck.

    any good reason why it is design this way? or all dual layer wing is like this? It seems the folded location will get pressure when the wing is inflated, and overtime, it will wear out and leak. Is this a concern?
