SlowlyButSurely said.. There is not a wing on the market with the same price/quality ratio than the Armstrong one. They really nailed it with the XPS. The XPS MkII will be pretty much the same with the only change being on the handle which was the weakest point of the first gen XPS. Not because the handles did not work, but because the stitches came off after a season. The MKII will have a rubberized finish which will last longer.
That's my experience too after using 4 different sized wings since they were released here - only issue is the stitching coming loose. Luckily in my case it's only superficial and the handle covering itself is not affected. Agree 100% re the value:performance:longevity ratio. I don't know of any other wing that matches this. im hoping for some small other incremental improvements. Read elsewhere that the windows will be removed but judging by the photos above they are still in place.
longevity when stiches start to fall apart after one session? Sound like it won't last long.

Why would it hold better Vs other wings?
Stitches come loose after two seasons - Australian summer. It is superficial only and does not affect the strcuctrue nor integrity of the handle in any way.
