Patagonia Guide Pants, Mens 34 Grey. Used a couple of seasons, they have a few crampon holes that have been repaired professionally. Great pants but my waist shrank. No glissading. $50 plus shipping. SOLD
OR Verglass gaiters. Men's Large and Women's Medium. I used the Men's a few times, no damage. The women's were never used. $25 per pair plus shipping. MENS SOLD
OR High Camp Gloves, Men's Large. I used them a few times but I have too many pairs of gloves. They are warm and water proof, come with fleece liners. No damage. $45 plus shipping SOLD
BD Ice gloves, Men's Extra Large. Well used and well loved. No damage. $25 plus shipping
Wild Country Rockcentrics 3-9 $40 plus shipping SOLD
Outdorr Research Ferosi Jacket, Men's Large. Used one very full season of ice climbing, alpine rock, and cragging. The jacket shows wear but is in overall good condition. There is one very minor snag that I fixed with a lighter. It is hard to see and I had to circle it because the camera doesn't pick it up too well. $45 plus shipping. SOLD
Marmot Warmlight fleece vest, Men's Large. I've had it a few years but I don't think I've ever warn it. Used, obviously, but in very good condition. $25 plus shipping.

| They've mainly been sitting in my gear bin for years and have been placed. I have never fallen on them. That doesn't directly answer your question but I don't know of any quantitative way of measuring sling life. I have no issue climbing on them but I use cams and nuts mainly. |

| There should be a year stamp on the dyneema on the slings. And if I am not mistaken, dyneema, like a rope, has a life expectancy to it. But I could be wrong. |

| There's no year stamp and Dyneema doesn't degrade over time.
Here are some close ups, click the images a few times and you can enlarge the images until you can count the threads. The discoloration at the top of the sling is from the raw BD carabiner. Like I said, they've been placed a few times but otherwise in good shape. You can judge for yourself though.

Dyneema degrades from use and UV exposure. There is no indication anywhere that time is a contributing factor to a reduction in the strength of Dyneema. If that were the case there'd be expiration dates on every Dyneema product made and massive warnings everywhere. |
