You don't need the holes - it will work if you just lay an inner tube over
the bladder. It must be cut all the way around on one side and cut to the
shape of the bladder.

Subject: wing + inner tube


Having tried some wings ( except for the halcyon range), I have some
criticism for most of them.

Especially when turning from one side o the other, there are 2 things
which botehr me.

One is, when the gas is changing sides, a loud , annoying gargling
appears, sometimes loud enough to scare away critters, or be otherwise
unpleasant.

The other is, gas sometimes does not want to shift sides, but keeps on
sticking in one side, leaving me with a annoying dysbalance which must
be fought against by some wriggling.

I intend to insert a 12mm ID plastik tube with hole all over its length
at the circumference, so gas can enter the "bus" and leave, distribute
anywhere without being hindered by walls sticking close together.

Anyone tried this before ?
I know some dive so have but they belong to the league "I can tell you
but will have to shoot you then".
