Zeus bale wrap?

Used last couple of years , seems to wrap really well, had no problems with breakages or tearing. However last year have had some problems with water getting into some bales, mainly bottom ones or where they have sagged and water has been sat between bales. Was just putting this down to the huge rainfall we had last winter. Just wondering if anyone else has seen the same issue? All wrapped with 6 layers .
Thanks

We used Zeus last year won't use it again.

The left over bales in the heap - the wrap appears to be degrading. Concerned what state those bales will be in for next winter

Was it the 5 layer or 7 that you used?

It's the 7 layer one, and we treated it the same as we do the Visqueen... It worked well on the wrapper, bales seemed fine at the time but it just hasn't kept right the longer time goes on. First started noticing something maybe wasn't quite right end of Jan or start of Feb.
Still got about 1/3 a pallet of the bloody stuff left 🤦🏻‍♂️
