It is designed to withstand pulling, stretching and ripping in most circumstances but is not intended to withstand persistent or extreme behaviour. The expected lifespan of rip-resistant clothing can vary considerably depending on the individual, their behaviour and how the garment is cared for. As a general guide, garments may last approximately 3 to 12 months. If the wearer chews or bites clothing, uses sharp objects, or can gain access to and repeatedly pull at internal seams or fabric layers, this garment may not be suitable.
