Thanks, all. Good stuff to think about. I do like the idea of having a 1" sensor with zoom in my pocket, especially on short backcountry missions. Might have to pick up a used ZS100 or RX100. But maybe I'll throw my G85 in my pack when skiing slow with my little ones. I live in Vermont so I'll be hopefully be skiing as much as usual, though probably with lots of snacks and drinks in the pack too! #nogoinginside

I realize its not the same thing but it is harsh. I have take the EM1 Mark II offshore fishing multiple including strapped to my back twenty miles offshore on a jetski for 11 hours.  I have slammed it, banged it, fallen on it and soaked it in saltwater for days.  They are really well built.

That said.  I really really like peak designs clip system. Phenomenal. I wear a stout leather belt and the clip. It holds the camera very securely and it is really easy to release when needed. I also bought there tether strap which i loop through my belt and connect to camera. That way if I ever drop the camera its still connect to the tether.

Actually protecting the lens is the real issue.  The kvrd lens covers work well. A bit hard to get off but that style of lens cover is the only practical one I know of that will hold up in harsh environments.
