Harness will suffer the same way rope does and all synthetic fibres. The degrade not so much from age, but exposure to UV (light). Other things to be wary of is dirt and not letting the harness dry fully, if it gets wet. Like gfdonc, I retired my 1986 Petzl Croll caving harness last year, for new Wild Country harness. You've go to love padding, woohoo! No gym had ever questioned me about the age of the old harness. |
