I bought the Mach V Signature 30lb wing from scubatoys last month. I found fromhere and here that Oxycheq makes wings where the bladder size matches the outer jacket. However, this week I discovered that my wing's bladder is too large for its outer jacket.
What can be done? It can still work but the very idea of having IMO such a major problem in my few hundred dollar BC bugs me no end. I live in Singapore BTW.

Deflated bladder = 76.5cm

Inflated bladder = 71cm

Inflated jacket = 62.5cm

And just in case you can't see properly

The excess length is depicted like so:

When inflated, the cross-sectional view of the top and bottom is depicted as follows:

Hmmmm, do oxycheq people actually check their own subforum? Seems that there's a lot of unanswered threads around here.
