My oldest pair of Ortliebs is 13 or 14 years old now. Here's a complaint: they've faded (red).

After daily commutes for a couple years, a cross country trip, after a couple more years I started worrying they were going to disintegrate from UV damage because of the fading, and bought some replacements. Haven't needed the new ones yet.

So I guess, instead of damning with faint praise, that's praising with faint damns.
