They're clearly unbeatable comfort wise, but he gets flats pretty regularly. Wanted to ask what your experience with them has been like.
Another way to reduce flats (if you're not going tubeless) is to just run lower pressures than usual. I never go about 40 PSI; most of the time it's at 30 PSI or less. 90% of my riding is on city streets, and I've yet to get a flat.
