I finally checked, and my long-lasting harness lines are Windsurfing
Hawaii. I use the adjustables (short to sail, long to slog). After 2-4
years the boom loops wear from lying on the ground; no other problems.
The rope parts are tied in at both ends, so they're easy to replace
if you don't use a Reactor.
