I don't know how you would photograph micro abrasion holes. After 15 years of use the fabric is perforated in many spots. Particularly near the bottom. Like a delaminating waterproof jacket this seems like a far harder repair to effect than if you had a large tear in the fabric that you could easily patch even DIY at home. OTOH if you fixed 90% of the tiny holes it would still not be waterproof.
I'll just keep using it in its current form. It still holds stuff. It's just not reliably waterproof for something expensive and delicate, but that's the same as most cloth backpacks.
