[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 117031, member: 52"] Re: Another case of questionable rigging? Judging by the color of the purple casing the Spansets in the OP, they don't look like they have seen too much sunlight. The casing protects the load bearing strands from UV and physical damage, if it shows cuts or UV fading the Spanset should be retired from rigging use. UV exposure really varies, up here at 6000 feet everything, whether organic or synthetic, goes bad much faster than at sea level. I have used faded, torn to crap synthetics to pull vehicles from ditches, remove dead trees and drag large metal objects around, though I'd never use them for rigging where a failure would cause bodily harm, have been surprised how much they still can take before failure.
