Thats the thing that worries me about the lighter nylon type material, it seems like the kind of stuff that will continue to rip pretty rapidly if you manage to poke a hole in it, my old Fairydown has had everykind of abuse thrown at it, its even fallen off the back of my truck and bounced/skidded along the road as I drove through Franz Josef township, and its still strong as ever and has never ripped or anything so I really want that kind of durability, a nicer more modern harness system, and save a few grams. All thse suggestions are good food for thought...
