Curious about this jacket. Descriptions that I've read about the material this is made out of keeps saying "durable". What does that mean to me in the real world where I've never worn a jacket made out of space age stuff. I'm used to wearing fleece type jackets. I've felt this jacket in a store and it feels like it would rip just by catching a finger nail across it or what not.
So the question is, "What can I really expect?"

I've actually played with my pit bull while wearing this. Her nails have pulled the stitches a little, but never torn the material. I've also worn it on trips and have it grabbed by sticks with no pulls, no tears. Furthermore, this has been the most downproof material I've come across. Think about this: the material was originally used in parachute canopies. If it can support the weight of a person, it can hold up to normal wear and tear. Just don't take knives to it, though.
