Just checking my Pfd's type 1 zipper front with collar, and have found 3 with rotting straps, These have not been used purchased new 4 yrs ago, and kept in the boat under cover.
I went back with receipt in hand to place of purchase and they advised 12 months old nothing can be done.
My main concern is the safety factor, even though these jackets look brand new the straps are crumbling. I've got other jackets that are over 10 years old and the straps are still good.
I'm just putting this out there as a warning to check your straps our lives may have to depend on them.
regards terry
