In reply to Stichtplate:
Unfortunately I wasn't as lucky with my Paclites on some sharpish rock near Crimpiau. I wasn't thrutching up a chimney or anything of the like, they just caught and tore a good 4" large 'L' shape in the thigh/behind.
I wasn't at all impressed with their durability or rip-stop ability; even when keeping in mind that they are a lightweight pair, and high durability was never to be expected.
I emailed Berghaus just to say I thought that the level of durability was rather low, even for a lightweight pair, and asked for recommendations of fixing them - all I received was a rubbish automated email, with no advice or help. I'm a believer in good customer service, and would have at least liked a human to reply to me!
A year on, and a few applications of duct tape & re-proofings later they're still doing well, though with many more small holes dotted about them.
Probably won't go with Berghaus again though!
