Its my dream to do so much hiking that I can destroy a few thousand bucks worth of equipment! What a great life! Its the secret pack goat joke that everyone thinks they're going to hike their goats so much that they wont need hoof trims but it never works out that way, am I right?
I agree it could be an issue someday but at the same time, there's nothing so high-tech on that saddle that you couldn't drop it off at an upholsterer to get re-covered. Everything is built in a garage, after all. Other than a few water-knife cut aluminum parts its all off the shelf, and even the fancy parts could be replicated by hand given some time. The gym I go to had all of their equipment's seats and pads re-done, regardless of brand, by a local lady and it turned out rather decent. I restore old cars so dealing with replacing discontinued parts is just part of my day-to-day I guess.

I don't drink beer, but if I did, I'd prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends!
