I feel like things were built to last in the old days and repairable.
I definitely feel that the comfort level has been elevated by modern gear.
Bison hunting yesterday morning, in the first 5 hours we had everything that Western Wyoming could throw at you. Rain, freezing rain, graupel, snow, back to freezing rain and back to rain with wind gusts from 20 - 40+ mph.
I was completely warm, dry and relatively comfortable while hiking the entire time.
