Will the 97 get tore up pretty quickly if I wear it as an outer layer and underneath backpack shoulder straps?

mine is still going strong w/ lots of miles and hours; I don't think it would be the perfect layer to fight my way through devil's club, but then again I don't what that layer would be :)

Heavy pack straps don’t seem to bother mine. I have some significant piling on some FL and Kuiu merino shirts and some Sitka fleeces, but my Peloton 97 and for that matter Peloton 200 and Strongfleece 260 I had didn’t seem to mind a pack.

Great to hear that. Certainly not expecting miracles from something so light.

Btw, how do you like that RAB Flashpoint? Another super light piece you are sporting.

Never seem to have to worry about mine being heavy! Ha.

my Flashpoint is what I carry backpacking (outside of hunting)- it's perfect for that; the fabric is too light for much rummaging through thick timber/blowdown- so for hunting, I bring a Sitka Dewpoint
