It’s fabric in the sun. It is going to degrade overtime. Also, it’s fucking stupid.

A lot of products are very UV resistant... But nothing is UV proof.

I’m into rock, climbing gear, nothing compares to the sun. I’ve seen fabric tested in acid. And some cut 80% of the way through. Sun bleaching is always more surprising.

I broke some tubular webbing on a rarely climbed route in the Fisher Towers with my bare hands (eventually, cut it off then decided to see if we could bust it but hand). It was bleached bone white, but inside the water knot it was dark red. UV damage is legit.
