    Has anyone had a chance to put substantial miles on any of the Liteskin packs?

    Not a pack, but I’ve been using a liteskin wallet daily for the past year. It is a trifold with liteskin on the outside and the edge binding, and 1.7oz clear dcf forming the card pockets on the inside. The hot cut edges of the edge binding are fraying (should have rolled the edges under), and the corners (when folded) have spots that are worn down to the interior ripstop fabric. But the main fabric looks and feels new, even where it gets folded.

    Hope that helps. My second liteskin pack from katabatic comes in tomorrow, so obviously I’m impressed with the fabric (and that pack design)

    Useful data point: Katabatic Knik Liteskin, used for an entire PCT, still going strong.
