whats wrong with another DSS?
OP
These are all helpful! I like my wing to roll/pack up small for traveling as I take my bp/w to warm water and use here locally. My husband has an oxycheq and it has those little roll tabs (huh, why didnt i think of that before posting?) and work fine...but doesn't roll up well.
So hollis has the tabs? Hmm...that can work!
Although i love the open area around the center of wing/cam bands so I can just pull the wing off through the cam bands. Ocycheq my husband has to fully unthread his cam bands
The shop i am with doesn't sell DSS. So I can cover up the logo or buy one of the 8 or so brands they do carry. I am leaning to covering up the logo..heehee..
I will never do without my dss plate with bolt on additional weight plates. Damm, i love my plate!

I have a 32lb hog and a 30lb zeagle and neither require a sta. the zeagle is my travel rig so it packs up nice and small.

Thank you but I was asking the OP.
Back to the discussion, the Hollis Wing also has internal bungees so it can "shrink" (not the right word) up nice and small and as well, has a nylon internal bladder versus a rubber one (which could pinch when storing)
OP
Rhuntly, I was looking for a wing that will roll up when I pull it off the plate for traveling with. THe oxycheq wing is bulky (think carhartt pants rolled up vs linen pants rolled up) big difference in size for travel. So I was just looking for another wing that has built in STA (rubber on DSS and Oxycheq has tabs) so I wouldn't have to travel with that extra piece of metal

Another possibility I recently discovered after buying a minty old Halcyon 18lb batwing that sadly has no built in STA is the Oxycheq mini STA thingies. They're two separate pieces, each barely wider than your camband, so there's no need to remove them from the cambands and pack separately. With those, you could focus on getting minimum wing bulk...a contest no built in STA wing is going to win.
