harness retirement

[tree monkey]

Im just curious my Tree flex harness is now over 3 years old and ive been told its now out of date and should be replaced.

Is this correct even tho it is still in servicable use and has no defects to worry about.

Also would it be an issue for the insurance if i did have an accident and the harness was a factor in incident?

cheers

This is what I was told on the cs38. The only exception is if it was not used very often. You still have to have it inspected every six months, either ways.

my treemotion is nearly 5 years old. leg straps have been replaced, all webbing replaced, new back pad, couple of new bridges. So which bit do i class as being out of date? its pretty much only the hardware that is original.

A harness in regular use typically has a life of five years. They can be repaired, stitched etc by the manufacturer and recorded as such. New parts will have a service life of five years from when they came into service.

You ever work out if it would have been more cost effective to buy a new harness?

if i replaced everything at the same time it may of been but as i only replaced as needed, not a chance bro.

I wish, I'm lucky to get 2/3 years out of mine before they are falling to bits:001_huh:

I agree but was just going with Loler guidelines on the 5 years use.
