I'm very tempted! How fragile is it? If I was to spend that money on a jacket I'd want a lot of years use out of it and want to be able to us it all the time, including bike courier work.

I'm guessing if it's not day-in-day-out use, but on/off as needed, it will be solid, but not as durable as say a surplus rain-jacket. To use as a reference, those military jackets are higher denier nylon and heavier weight ....which is then a consideration if you are stowing in a bag.
People in the studio using regularly with backpack for commutes, and no problem with strap wear over a year, but again, if you're running a Cordura courier bag strap around a shoulder frequently it would wear as any jacket would!
They have them in Condor if you wanted to check the weight/durability feel.

Employed by Albion, so interpret at will, but my simple answer is yes. Top spec fabric (Pertex Shield Air), good features, pockets, with the weight/cut/fit suitable for on & off bike means you get good all-round use & high value out of it.
Be good to hear thoughts from anyone who has bought one?
