Can anyone else comment on the durability claims here - I wear a lot of knitwear but in my experience it is almost never the case that they fail at the seams. Is the cut/sew mechanism of fabrication part of the weakening? (my jumpers tent to either wear through in elbows (patchable!) or ultimately get nicked/cut by something like a branch I failed to avoid).

I’ve seen quite a few pathetic failures of the cool modern ultrasonic-welded seams and also pathetic failures of high end well known athletic brands.

But a competently sewn seam really ought to last at least as long as the fabric.
