: Thanks for the input!
: I guess one question I would have is do you feel like the DuraTuff
: is like a 1000% tougher, or just a bit tougher? Especially given
: the price difference that sort of thing really interests me.
: Also, what constitutes "a rough life"? As a new kayaker
: I'm not sure if that means scraping across every rock you see,
: and seal launching from the beach, and dragging the boat across
: the parking lot? Or is it just not babying the kayak,
: occasionally bumping into something fairly lightly, and
: generally doing the kinds of things a new kayaker would do?
I would think that instead of trying for a direct comparison of fabric and coatings to each other it would make more sense to compare each to another method of construction that you can relate to. Like "how does this fabric / coating method compare to the average fiberglass kayak"? You're not likely to take your fiberglass kayak and drag it thru a parking lot, why would you do it with your SOF and what does that prove?
