Only thing I worry about is the durability of the mesh material itself, which is polyester as far as I recall. Polyester doesn't absorb moisture, but it's not exactly known as a durable fiber.
Yeah I was a little concerned about the durability of the material but after doing a little bit of unscientific testing with a small filter for the 120mm fan that you can get at retail, I was more confident with it more than ever. I have tried to fold, tear, and stretch it, of course without excessive force, and it seems to be just as tough as my t-shirt. I have also tried to vacuum it, as I thought it would be suck into the cleaner but it stays put without a slight movement. The only thing I have not tried is to wash it but I don’t think it will be a problem, especially since it can be vacuumed. Just like anything else, if you do not abuse it then it should last quite while.

Yeah they are in South Africa, which costs a bit more for shipping but nothing more than any other place across the pond.
