As said in our conversation I already use their 6.8L for bailout but they are in a cylinder bag made from Cordura, Mainly because of them rolling around a boat deck or getting dragged through holes in wrecks!
I do know somebody who has had 2 x 10l CFs for a few years & had no problems with them with out protecting them.

Not sure they are exactly the same process, these are 15 year life limited and the bailouts that I am now the proud owner 2 of same are not life limited. I think they will need a little more love than Nige's ones...

Interesting, did you get your bailouts from Worthington through their Dutch seller ?
When I enquired originally I was told in an email from Worthington, Austria that the 6.8L had a 10 or 15 ( cann't remember which) year life span

I believe Nigel bought his before they got CE approval.

Nope from the Carbondive Austrian shop.

In discussion they put me onto the option for smaller units but in explaining about the smaller tanks stated "They are full composite, but they do have a limited life of 15 years (compared to our 6.8, 10 and 12 do not have a limited life)."

One presumes they know what they are talking about....
