gear life?

Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm still a student, so I'll be using dz gear for a while.... but I was just looking at sizes, prices, etc and was wondering how long it lasts?
I read (in another thread) canopies can get 2000+ jumps, but is there some way to tell if you need it replaced? Like every ___ jumps or every ___ years? What about harnesses? The way they are made makes it seem like they would never need replacing... but that's just my observation!! What about new lines?
I'm just curious really and it's something I'm not able to find anywhere. No rush though... I'll start worrying about this again when I get tired of renting & my bank account recoops from lessons =)
Also, I've read both positive and negative things about buying used rigs... and I have to say, it's not my first choice but surely it makes sense, right?
Thanks a bunch! I know a lot of these seem stupid but I've been wondering about this stuff but always forget to ask my jm.

If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!
