It can be said that I am a fan of woodlands..i am a user of different types of woodlands for four years from u...uts a tough one..the’’leather that weathers’’ is very strong, i use it fro all climatic conditions, i am a keralite where the rainy season is long, but I use it in all conditions but I couldn’t notice any damage..now I use the light weight one, hope it will last long...but we have to be afraid of the second sales because they sell mostly the duplicate ones...
