Well, I like mine... A LOT

I guess it depends on what kind of rocks you throw it down on. Mine seems to be soaking up the abuse with nary a rip, tear or gouge. This uses the same ground-side fabric Metolius uses on almost all their pads, and I've never had real issues with the fabric on any of them: tough as you need it to be. There are three things to love about the Colossus:
1) The tri-fold design, makes this 6 foot long pad carry "small." I don't notice too much of a difference between the Colossus and my old Cheap Bastard -- until I unfold them.
2)The pockets integrated into the closure flap are awesome, as is the fact that that they well designed to double as protection for the shoulder harness.
3) It is a bed. I'm 6 foot and have never been able to sleep comfortably with my legs hanging off my 4 inch high and 4 foot long Cheap Bastard. I've already had some great nights of sleep on the Colossus. And there is room for your significant other, too.
Bomb-er.
