That's right, and that also makes them tough AND thin which is a good combo.Just an FYI, the HOG wing bladders are not urethane. They are ballistic material. That's why there's a ten year warranty against pinch flats.
As thick as the 26 mil bladder is in the Oxycheq I still did get a pinch flat in it which I had to patch. Thank god at least the bladder is accessable with a 360 loop zipper (Hog also has a 360 loop zipper).
Even though the Oxy bladder is thick, it's still gummy urethane and prone to being mashed fairly easily.
I can see how the balistic materials like the Hog are going to be the bladder materials of the future.
