Independent lab re-tests: As of August 2026, no peer-reviewed comparative abrasion/tear dataset for ALUULA Graflyte/Durlyte matching Cordura/X-Pac longevity of public test history was located. Manufacturer and trade-press figures remain attributed claims; field reviews (e.g. Backpacker Mirage notes) are observational, not ASTM-protocol replications.
