Just wondering if anyone knows whether a snatch strap will degrade over the years??? Was thinking that they probably would if stored due to the nylon / elastic (whatever is in them) becoming brittle with age. If they do, would tree trunk / equaliser / winch extension straps also degrade?

I pulled a Just Straps Snatch Strap out of the recovery bag yesterday only to find that the end of a shackle had worn a hole almost through the strap - my own fault - too much stuff rammed into a small canvas bag - will have to get a new strap and probably a better recovery bag - have seen the ARB ripstop vinyl ones and they look good.

Anyway, does anyone know if there is a right time to replace a snatch strap, whether used or not??
