Just wanted to give an update. I'm now just over 5 weeks into this thinskin unit. Very minimal, if any, shedding. Certainly nothing noticeable. The thinskin itself is as good as the day I got it, no rips, no issues. Not near as delicate as I thought it would be. I think I'm going to get the 2nd one cut in this week and just start exchanging them every few days. At this point in time, I see no reason why I shouldn't get several months out of the thinskins.
