    I wear a Nightstalker for backpacking. I use a length of 3/4" nylon webbing straight through the loop on the back of the sporran as a strap (no D-rings; the webbing has a buckle). After 1,500 miles the loop on the back of the sporran has begun to fray, so I'll either have to sew or replace it. I'll probably patch it up now, and will likely have to do so again in the field. At first I was like, "What the...cheap piece of sporran can't hold itself together!" and then I thought about what I'd just put it through. In that time I wore through two pairs of shoes, and a shirt rotted (literally) off my back.

    Andrew.

    My Nightstalker is currently the only sporran I own. I wear it daily (kilt or no) and it also is fraying, but it is in no way a fault of the construction.
    This thing has been worn constantly over the last year, commuting to and from work, constantly being shifted back and forth. For the price and the use I get out of it, I will be replacing it with another when it does wear out! (though I will repair the loop too!)
    I am also one of those that asked Jerry to make a leather one as well, and I know I will get one of those as well!

    Thanks Jerry!
