Ozone Wasp the same.the very best bag by far smik .Even has a over lap so zip can't snag wing clothe .My be other manufacture should take note. Ozone do give spare clothe for repairs .My sail maker says there the only one.

I use a surfboard sock for each of my wings. Deflate, fold/roll from the tips to the centre strut, and slide into the bag. Much kinder on the windows and the rest of the wing. The original bag only ever gets used again for resale of a wing.

yes this is my solution now.
I bought a caravan awning pole bag to do the same for my 3.5, need to start looking for a bigger one now for the 5.2. it does seem like they haven't thought through the bag solution.

I find mine super easy to get it back in the bag. I fold it along the center strut then fold from the wing tip towards the center to push the air out, then fold from the trailing edge to the leading edge. fits in the bay easy every time.
balz has made a YouTube video on how to pack the wing.

The bag of the score 5.2 isn,t as good as the Smik (and the wings imo neither), but still a lot better as the Duotone bag....

I've found the Echos bag to be too small. Have got a big hession sack that I pack it up in post foiling - meaning I don't have to wrap it perfectly. Then get it home, wash it out, dry and then pack it away in it's Duotone bag when I have more time. Unimpressed that they can't spend $20 more on a good bag that is easy to use.

As with dacron windsurf sails, the more you handle them....not pumped up...the more they lose their crispness.

DW are you doing anything different with the V3 Score w/windows than you do there with the V2,that's pretty much what I do with my V2 and V3 scores to get them in bag not a heck alot you can do to not crease the new V3 windows,but have to say after a solid month plus of use of my 5.2 score the window material seems rather plyable/flexible seems a bit different material than for example the window material on a starboard/airush wing hope it holds up great wings
