>>2496582>triple stitching is BETTER than single or doublesure i will agree, but gear actually designed for what you're doing is better than gear that isn't.
let's use pants as an example. sure some military pants might be triple stitched and rugged but the crotch area is still going to be sewn together like picrel. using a stock photo of jeans for convenience, the stitching pattern's just about the same. fine for walking, but it will be the first point of failure if you climb or cycle in them. my hiking pants from a recreational company were designed with these things in mind and have a gusseted crotch and won't prematurely blow out. pants with a standard pattern develop holes in the crotch really quickly from either of these activities. yes my pants might *only* be double stitched but they will last much longer because they're designed for what i use them for.
