Thanks for the update. Just out of curiosity are you sworn off of DR because of service or because you had two defective wings? Cheers

Correction, 1 hr n it is deflated.

I think is due to the power inflator that is pulling the elbow exhaust.

Thats easy enough to check, inflate the wing and submerge pull dump end in the sink and look for bubbles.

Gave up. Will try it at the pool to check.

I removed out the whole bladder from the xt wing and found out there is a micro leak at the base of the bladder. Had emailed DGE n see what they would reply during the weekdays.

That's good you've solved the mystery. DGX are very good to deal with I've no doubt it will be sorted very quickly. Keep us posted.

it leaked from the exact some spot on mine.... all along the seam! at some spot it was even between the 2 layers of fabric... clearly a crap job done to me!!!

1st bladder I got, the armoured layer wasn't sewn properly, 2nd one which is this, I brought to Bali there was a leak n can't find the leak, after inflated, it did not leak after drying. This yr when I placed the BCD for drying, I see the leak. So I remove the bladder out n checked for a few days and finally found out the leak!!!


Hope this will not happen again.
