Is there any way to tell before catastrophe that your Ripstop has pretty well reached the end? Is Ripstop good until the point of failure? Obviously a tear would be a sure sign that the ripstop is done. I’ve been looking at my three year old Ridgerunner with probably two hundred nights in it and there are a few spots that are looking “stretched” just a bit. Not quite as tight as when new, but slightly puckered that like I said looks like it’s stretched some.
