Back protector life

[Ben Johnson]

Hello all,

I recently had my glader and harness serviced and inspected by aerofix. As my harness the Delight 2 was bought in 2016 and has had the carabiners replaced at 5 years I was wondering what the life of a harness is? I asked aerofix who referred to the supair manual which recommends the back protector is replaced at 5 years and harness life 12 years. 

5 years seems to be recommended by other manufacturers but worth looking at the manual for your kit. Most are available online free to access.

I thought I would spread the word incase others may have harnesses more than 5 years old.

Cheers,

Ben.
