How durable is it on a scale of 1 to 10?

warmth, style and plushiness i would give it a 9. Durability i would give it a 6-7, if you wear this thing out the plushiness loses loft and leaves ugly flat patches- especially on the elbows and once you wash it, it is a whole new- not so soft- jacket. I wore mine to death and it is still good as a beater jacket, be prepared to buy more than one if you want it to last.

In all honesty I'd give it a 6.5. It's not as durable as regular fleece but very plush & more compressible. For what it's worth, I'd give it a 10 on the plushness scale!Chiming in, it really depends on your scale. 10 being "will last longer than the pyramids" or 10 being "will last me out the season" are two entirely different things. That said, Jeff's right. The outer fabric is not as long-lasting as a standard fleece.---------------I beat the hell outta my gear. Mine lasted a full season of hard climbing & mountaineering without issue. The only problem is that it was never the same after I washed it.
