Pull down the zipper of the outer cover of the OMS¦ BC and you will see 1000 denier Nylon fabric backed with 5 to 6 oz. of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). This thicker TPU coating helps prevent abrasion and increases puncture resistance. Most competitors use only 1/2 oz. or no urethane backing on their BC covers making them susceptible to punctures, abrasion and subsequentleaks. Housed inside the outer cover we use a puncture resistant bladder constructed from 200 denier Nylon fabric backed with .12 mmof TPU. Most of our competitors use only a thin plastic film bladder that is more susceptible to damage. There are other differencessuch as 100% quality assurance inspection for leaks, imperfections and defects before your OMS¦ BC is delivered. The 45 lb. lift non-retraction band BC's are made from the same superior materials as the banded BC's. They incorporate a pull dump located at the driver's side lower left and an inflator hose exiting the center of the BC, tank side, and provide quality without compromise.

Comments about OMS OMS 45 lb. Lift Single Bladder, Black:
I got certified with this wing, it is fantastic. I give it a 9/10. The only issue I have with it is sometimes air will get trapped on the side without the over-inflate valve. In order to vent I have to go vertical or rotate sides and make sure the air gets moved to the over-inflate valve side to dump air. As far as inconvenience goes, it's a two second procedure that I'm sure I will get better at with time.
I would buy this wing again and have no reservations about recommending it.
