I wonder if Bainbridge bought OR to use as a vehicle to develop and test new Bainbridge fabrics for winging. They saw how it worked for Aluula, and thought, we could do that too!

I'm down for it if they continue to push the limits like OR has in the past. I love the idea of a small entity being the test vehicle to develop superfabrics. I definitely feel like that results in big leaps forward in design because they are taking risks that a normal company can't.

Anyone have any knowledge about what happens with OR warranties? I've found a few Glide As on significant discount but heard they've had bladder issues. Can anyone comment? Thanks.

The last I bought I was told no warranty, but for the price it's worth it, especially if buying replacement bladders from the new OR will be no big deal.

My 6m LE bladder exploded once during deflation and ones during inflation. Idk what is going on and now I can't find replacement ...
