My husband bought this almost a year ago and it is his favorite thing to wear ever. (Personally, I think it is a little dorky...don't tell him! :) ) My husband wears it every day, clipped to his pants. It has been through a week long backpacking trip, countless camping trips, lots of day hikes/climbs in rocky bluffs, and daily through junior high hallways. He loves it and would probably cry if it ever broke.
