If the belt uses leather -- isn't that an indication that it is worn out?
Do modern climbing belts use leather at all?
I bought a full harness 1.5 years ago from Champion Radio. All polymer
webbing, metal and plastic. No leather.
Frankly, a good climbing harness and safety lanyards are so cheap
(compared to the expense of the tower and antennas) there's no excuse not
to get good ones.
