The all weather uses plastic components in place of metal (still has metal rails), and has a woven polyester top rather than woven cotton - hopefully harder wearing. I’ve got a couple of each, using an all weather on my commuter at the moment not done enough miles on it to confirm increased durability.
The more recent batches of standard C17 seem to have extra coating of shiny stuff which is helping extend the wear.

Is this the "All Weather" C17 or the standard one? I was gonna try a cambium but this isn't the only story I've heard about them wearing out prematurely, and I'm not sure what the difference between the standard and all weather is
