I have used the New Xpress in 700x37mm. I like these tires for commuting, and I'd gladly use them on tour. They have what they call hypertex casing which I believe is a armored belt that's pretty light. They are very similar to the Pasella TG I used to use. I believe one problem with the tread design is that they tend to pick up glass. However, after writing this, I've only had one flat in 1000k, and that was due to higher pressure in the tires than I'd usually run (70psi was pumped in by a mechanic after he'd trued a wheel for me; I'd usually run 50psi). To my tastes ( I use Compass Barlow Pass EL on my "fast" bike), this is a good all-around tire. Decent road feel, decent flat prevention, not super light but not heavy either. Good value for money in my opinion if using for commuter or touring tire.
