Are there any fire service "standards" that define how long harnesses should be
in service?
No. There is a "voluntary" ANSI standard, which states that the life expectancy of a harness shall be 5 years from the date of first use and 6 years from date manufacture. ANSI does have standards for the industrial workplace/workers.

How can I inspect my PacMule Harness? A visual inspection is required before each use. You are checking for mildew, wear, damage, and other deterioration. Buckles, Drings, snap hooks shall not be distorted or have any sharp edges, burrs, cracks, worn parts or corrosion. All webbing shall be free of frayed or broken fiber, pulled stitches, tears, abrasions, mold, burns or discoloration. Defective components shall be removed from service.

Does the PacMule Harness come with a warranty?JL2 Inc. provides a warranty against manufacturer defects. The warranty excludes excessive wear and misuse.
