Harnesses are made from super-duable nylon, but some areas wear faster than others. The most obvious wear spot are the tie-in points - inspect these regularly to ensure that rope friction hasn't sawn through the protective nylon sheath, or worse, into the structural webbing itself. Also, inspect the waistbelt webbing where it passes through the buckle, as well as the belay loop. If the fibers or cut, the strength of the webbing is greatly diminished. If you note visible wear in any of these places, buy a new harness immediately. For more climbing information " Click it here " Thank you climbing magazine.
