[QUOTE="ID Mtn Man, post: 2127354, member: 97084"] Any ultralight puffy is going to be like this. Despite how frail some of the outer fabrics are on them, I chose weight and compatibility over durability and always carry a roll of tenacious tape with me. Some of my solids have turned camo with all the different color patches. In fact, I have a FL Brooks that needs about 8 more patches on it and a mason jar full of little pieces I caught from it. My lightweight down gear is usually only warn when I'm sitting still, or above treeline. If I plan on crashing through brush, I chose DWR coated fleece. Climbers, mountaineers and skiers have been patching puffies for years. Spend a minute in any ski town and the Patagucci Posers will be strutting in their bright new jackets with fresh desiccant packs in their pockets while the true powder-hounds, ski patrol dudes, etc., will have a half a roll of duct tape on their coffee and grease stained gear.
