Hey guys
I have used Duotone units v4 and the mod3 canopy is strong as hell. But I managed to bag out even those a bit. Im afraid ill bag out the xps even more since it seems to be a softer material than the mod3 canopy.
has anyone been using the xps for a while and can confirm if its long lastning in the canopy?

It's the dacron leading edge that flexes too much, stretching the canopies out. The canopy on Aluula wings seems to last longer.

Really? I have 4.6 XPS soon one year old and about 100 sessions. Only stretch I can see is small "dent" from my elbow after heavy crash on it.

Dacron 2- 3 years ago and sigle layer is not a same as new dacron in double layers. I do have Aluula 6.0 wing and I can see that it's canopy has stretched, but unlike XPS, canopy is made from very few panels. 6.0 is also one year old but used less than 50 sessions.

I agree with u. Also it seems to be different for heavier guys. But slick sls with Penta X soon looked shxx. Now dlab Unit 6 from 22 looks pretty well after serval sessions.

XPS here holding up well. F-Ones bagged, pushing tips on land tightened canopy, agreeing with frame being the problem.

yeh our xps wings are holding up well after a season.

I have never seen an xps in real life but latest duotone and f one wing have thick canopy material, is the xps same or is it thinner like older f one / duotone/cabrinha etc ?:)

Depends on the wind range that u ride the given wing in vs recommended range, noticed that recently my Xps 4.6 is not as tight as before after riding for a full week in the upper ranges

After full season my XPS holding up very well despite intense use and bashing.
