I travel a lot, and sometimes there is limited drying time (or soggy weather) before I leave. So easy/quick drying is important to me.

I am looking at either the Halcyon Traveler, or the Adventurer. It seems to me that the two-bag design of the Adventurer would allow a lot of trapped water, resulting in slow drying, growth of creepie-crawlies, etc. But on the other hand, that second layer obviously adds robustness.

Any input would be welcome!
 
My Halcyon doubles wing has NO such trapped water and No such "creepie-crawlies". The water between the bladder and the shell is expelled through the drain-holes by fully inflating the LARGER inner bladder. If you don't drain the inner bladder properly you might get "creepie-crawlies", but that's your fault.
 
Been traveling with my infinity for about 6 years and never had an issue with the wing trapping water. In fact, the whole thing seems to dry a lot faster than my wetsuit. The only water I find is inside the bladder when I open the butt dump after the bcd has been hanging for a while.
 
Also you can replace the Halcyon inner bladder for $125.00. What's not to love?
