  1. Copied and Pasted from a Reddit thread with someone else having the same issue. I am in the exact same situation a almost 2 years old and only 6-7 months of daily production work and my GOOD side looks like your bad side. The bad side on mine is flaking off and I can scrape material off with my finger nail. Meanwhile, its supposed to have a 10 year warranty with a bunch of replaceable parts and I cannot find replacement rings to save my life. Not just that but I would MUCH rather not use these kind ever again and get something that would replace them. Preferably steel now as this has soured me. I am at this point running a beaner through the leg straps and clipping in my lanyards to that and the front D. Now when free climbing on my anchor I make sure I have one lanyard through my hip rings even though I have knee and foot ascenders. I don't even fully trust the bridge to swing freely on my rope for anything at this point. Super not satisfied with my TreeMotion Pro. due to this. Looking at them now, The front D rings, the hip rings, and the hip connection rings have all corroded at different rates. It is very obvious that they have a manufacturing issue because one might look goodish and others are crumbling. Hell, even the bridge ring is pitting. Now after reading a different thread on reddit I have learned that they stopped using DMM parts in their new harnesses. Which sucks because I ordered the older version first and then realized that they had just dropped the new on so I made a return and switched to the new one. The money saved on not using DMM products is not worth the safety and longevity of their harnesses.
