Hi all
looking for honest feedback on the 2026 super hero dlab sails from people actually sailing them.
( I find industry reviews are utterly pointless , they are like asking a prostitute what your performance was like - nobody can seem to be honest due to the nature of the industry ! )
specifically the dlab glued version , is the extended wind range claim per sail genuine , can you really have a smaller quiver 4.2 to 5 m gap ?
any problems with the glued seams failing ?
Are they more early planing or less compared to previous versions ?
thanks in advance 👍

I'm very happy with my 2025 models, which apart from the color scheme are identical to 2026 afaik.
Their light weight stands out as soon as you lift up the bag, but also carries through on the water as well. in addition, they're very efficient across their full tuning range, so both with minimal as with maximum downhaul/outhaul. I can therefore agree that they cover a very wide wind range. My quiver is 5.3 - 4.5 and 3.7, and there is probably still some overlap depending on conditions. For instance, I never much liked 3.7s -- too twitchy, too much on/off, either too small or too big..., but the Dlab 3.7 is great.
No issues so far with longevity, though I have to admit that I don't get to sail them as much as I would like.
