Anyone else tried them?

Both mine punctured really easily with tiny holes - pretty sure my normal latex tubes would have been fine.

Currently waiting for their patch kit to arrive.

Not that I think I'll use them again.

Never again !

Mine sat in the saddle bag waiting to be used and when I needed it after a year or more a slit had worn through where folded and impossible to patch.

I suppose I could have wrapped in something but then it would have been bulky / heavier which defeats object.

I just stuck a butyl tube back in saddle bag. When that punctures I’ll go latex.

Yes, I carry butyl spares just as they're robust and I'm not sure I trust latex / tubolito to last being rattled around in a saddle bag rubbing against a multi-tool.

I've punctured with latex (been in there a year) and when I came to pull the old one out, it just ripped apart in my hand! I had the valve and about 2" of latex in my hand and the rest of the tube still on the wheel....
