It's been a year and a half since my last impression and I've been using it for 3 years. Of course, it has been exposed to the sun, wind and rain outdoors during that time.
Now, if we talk about the most important waterproof performance, it is maintained without any problem at all. There is no particular deterioration of the coating layer on the back side, and although there is some peeling of the seam tape, there is no trace of water penetration from there thanks to the firm sewing. There are no seams where rainwater can accumulate, which may be a factor.
The front side, which is the opposite side, has faded compared to when it was new, but I think it's still black. The fabric itself has a certain degree of fading.
Other than that, the edges of the lock holes are frayed, and the Velcro that holds the laces together is no longer attached, so there is some deterioration commensurate with age. Also, there is a part that got caught on a footpeg and ripped due to my own fault (it is in a low position so it is not affected by flooding).
Waterproofing can still work, so I'll use it again for a while and see how it progresses.
