Does anyone have an underwater photo of an oxycheq 45 wing?

It appears to be a bilaminate material of cordura on the outside and urethane on the inside.

I haven't sectioned mine though (and have no desire to!) so its a guess... but its tough stuff. I love mine.

I always, always dump via the dump on the back of the wing. I just reach back, pinch the string, poof... out goes the air. I pulled that little knobby thing off before it even made it into the water.
I had fitted my Pioneer dump with #36 wreck line. When I got the Oxy, rather than refit it, I just swapped dump valves.
MUCH easier to grab with heavy gloves.
 
You know what? I'd like to do that, and I know it's a relatively simple modification, but here's the sad truth - I'm scared to do 'surgery' like that on my wing. stupid, I know, but I just don't have enough confidence in myself to be able to put it back together without it leaking or something.

Probably would be just fine once I got into it, but I can't bring myself to go at that.
 
They're not rocket science...

Practice on your lift bag if you want first :) You'll see - this stuff is REALLY SIMPLE guys and gals....

But is your cave line black? :)
Thanks to a magic marker :D

To do it again, I would not recommend #36... the knot in the end of the 36 leaves a bulge in the middle of the seal. It works, and has not caused any problems, but doesn't look good.
#24 would still be better than the original.
