Personally seems legit to me.
Foam never has the life of a more durable product like Cordura. The average sneaker with foam sole is recommended to be replaced every 300-400 miles. Seems like a lot of miles to most people but most people don’t count miles. As a FedEx driver that means new shoes about every 2 months if I want the foam to be super comfortable. Shoulder straps really aren’t any different.
Weight training with a pack just a few miles each time, a couple times a week adds up. I only do about 3 miles in 45min on my training route. Per the OP 2x/wk for 5 months is approx 120miles on my route, not sure their’s. PLUS 8-10 hunting trips is at least another 100miles. 2 seasons is approximately 440miles for “only 2 seasons”. Seems about time to me think about replacing the foam components. This also means boot inserts that are utilized far too long.
Just my 2 cents and poor math.
