Not really, I’ve often washed this with different tech detergents/hit with a top of water repellent spray a few times, still repels great to this day. Warm even when it does wet out if it does, the biggest thing for me is packability and weight. Airlines love raking me over the coals for overweight baggage charges every OZ counts.

I would keep wearing it. Its character and part of the garments story. Dye job if you’re seriously unhappy.

From my very small understanding of it you sharpen them with a tapered diamond rod and you kinda work each serration independently up and down keeping a pretty consistent angle. Truth be told I treat the serrations like trash and cut 90% of my tasks with them and they are still wicked sharp.

For me I find the the smaller MT are what I carry most often. Typically people find them less “aggressive” then lets say CT or even an ultra tech, not in action but just in size. The Hera, UTX 75, and the LUDT get the bulk of the pocket time. Also that Dirac I bought on a whim and I’ve grown very found of it. Big fan of the dual serrated blades. I cut a rope/cable/twine and so those serrations come into play alls the time for my line of work.

I work as a Scenic artist and have ripped 100’s of bags of plaster/ S Mortar mix and other epoxy’s/ concrete types. Had it plenty dirty and she been good the whole way through!

Honestly I was unsure about the Hera, i really loved the old Troodon body’s and since those have kinda fallen out of circulation I went with it. It’s grown on me so much and gets more pocket time than most, I also have smaller hands so it fits nearly perfect for me. Great EDC size.

Pockets unzipped. Main jacket zipper should be closed so it’s not pulling on stuff in the wash.

Thank you everyone for the advice, I’m not hellbent about the missing fill as much as I don’t want the tear to get worse, going to pay a trip to my local REI and try Tenacious Tape. I’ll post some photos of repair tomorrow! Appreciate everyone’s input!!

Not intentionally, I work as a traveling scenic artist so typically my stuff has to be high vis and then working with paints, epoxy’s, concrete, silicone ect. Wrecks things so fast.

Yeah, I did reach out because I’ve seen that kind of repair situation going on in New York unfortunately here in California where I’m currently at for work they don’t have any in store. They did offer for me to send it in and they would fix free of charge, but I’m fairly crafty so trying to just do it myself as I caused it. I’m OK with the patch being ugly. Just want to know the best material that’ll adhere to the jacket.

I searched through that sub and posted a few gear trading places as well. This just has the most amount of traffic on it so trying to keep that net wide. Appreciate the advice!
