I have the DR Junior which was replaced by the Trek. It's basically the exact same wing except the Junior doesn't have the bungies on it but does have a small fastex clip at the base. It's fine with both singles and twins ( I use it with twin 12 faber ). Doesn't wrap around at all when using a single. If you use it with a 'home made' backplate the wing folds down to virtually nothing for travelling. I think the Junior / Trek is about 45lb lift. The only thing that I did was give the bladder a bit more protection by covering it with an old car innertube inside the outer casing.

I wouldn't hesitate in getting another one of these.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Ian.
