Question about wings materials

[vioch]

Just wondering:
Does Cordura used by Oxycheq have any advantages over OMS 1000 Denier Cordura backed by 5.0 oz. of Urethane?

And does Oxycheq's 25mil urethane bladder have any advantages over OMS 210 Denier Nylon bladder backed w/ 3.8 pz of Urethane (or Halcyon's 400 Denier Nylon backed by urethane)?

We both use the same outer shell. However, our urethane bladders are 25 mil while OMS us 12 mil.

And does Oxycheq's 25mil urethane bladder have any advantages over OMS 210 Denier Nylon bladder backed w/ 3.8 pz of Urethane (or Halcyon's 400 Denier Nylon backed by urethane)?

25 mil urethane is easier to patch. Our bladders are much thicker and when the urethane is as thick as ours it has a high abrasion resistance and very high puncture resistance when compared to Denier.

Other than the differences in materials, there are also differences in shapes. Our wing shapes are designed for low drag and horizontal trim.
