00But the definition in my diction is "made to be used for very hard work, or strong enough for rough treatment." So I can't figure out why you said it's interchangeable with "comfortable." Would you shed more light?0-

0Wearable isn't a good choice at all. It is certainly not a synonym for heavy-duty, but it's not a synonym for comfortable either (thought it's closer to that than heavy duty).0-
