Depends on what your using it for. If it's being used as a downhill ski jacket where you anticipate glancing by trees or getting snagged on branches, then it will tear. If you plan on rock climbing with it and expect to abrade it on rock, it will show signs of wear. However, if you are using it as a lightweight backpacking jacket and are not hard on your gear this jacket should last many years. I'm one who believes breathability (i.e. comfort) is key and this jacket just wouldn't cut it for me. I've owned a few eVent jackets that are far superior in breathability to anything else...much better than HyVent DT and even including Gore Tex, EVent can be expensive, but worth it in my opinion...
