I probably would avoid the high-dollar Filson if I was planning on really working in it and expecting it to hold up.


really curious about what he was doing... i can't think of anything any halfway normal person can do to wear one through that fast....I'm out crossing through barb wire fences and such in mine and have yet to put a hole in it and while not packing a bunch of extra weight i aint a small guy and its a tight squeeze at times grin can see wearing it out in time where it chaps/pants or such and busting alot of briars and such for a few years....

bad seam getting through QC and letting go, fugg up in water proofing ect yeah i can see it happen but cant figure how you wear through a tin cloth coat that fast...
