Life changes, mostly. I'm slowly drifting away from the style of climbing that this bag is optimized for.

I have a Feathered Friends Vireo for sale. Purple "Amethyst" Nano fabric, 68" length, 5oz overfill. Clean and without flaws. Used sparingly for one season. Includes bag and stuff sack. SOLD! $220 shipped.

Looking for a partner to climb the NE Couloir on McCellan Peak this Sat. + Sun. I have some local beta, but not much else exists. Approach Sat. Climb Sun. Should be moderate alpine ice. PM if interested.

Hey John, I too have burned through LS rubber in about 6 months on 2 different pairs. I have been using LS shoes exclusively for about 12 years, and it does seem that the previous generations of rubber did last longer. However, (lack of) softness (stickyness) was the general complaint about the old LS rubber. A decade ago many people resoled their Muiras with Stealth ASAP. It seems that LS has come around to soft rubber, maybe a bit too far.
