How often do you repair gear?

Personally, I don't bother to repair my (Interloper) gear until it hits about 70% condition. I feel that reaches a good balance between keeping gear in good condition and not feeling like I'm wasting cloth/hides. If I have more than (say) two bearhides or four deerhides around, I'll repair earlier. And of course rabbithides are super easy to get and renewable, so I try to keep those above 90%.

Of course, I have a lot of cloth laid up now, and beachcombing is a fairly reliable source, so maybe 70% is too low. Should I go to 80%?
