anybody got experience of these? They look very similar to TMB ep,s

Just considering the 5mm for the proposed suitcase scope!

I've read snippets of info about the net. Seem to be good value, I'd say your right , probably identical to the tmb clones. 5 element 58* . And about the same price tag.

Not as yet, but the price is pretty good.

I think they are probably the same as the other clones (HR Planetary, 'TMB Design' etc.), a fairly good budget eyepiece, but the XW you have will probably be on a whole other level (never having used an XW ).

Yes agreed Jonathan but there is no way I would put them in a suitcase and take them on holiday, hehe

I agree with the other posters, quite probably the same eyepieces as the other TMB planetary clones. I recall Skies the Limit were selling that design for a while and FLO currently lists them under the Skywatcher range:
