Great price. I’ve always used HSS myself.

I really don't care about the manufacturing date. IMO it's just someway to get more money out of you.  Is there a independent lab doing the testing? Nope, no federal regulations at all. How can stitching degrade when only used a couple months a yr? 

Yep,  it's a small price to pay for safety, is what they will say.  

Sorry, my 5 yr old vest will protect me as well as one produced this yr. 

Are the tree stand manufacturers  telling you the straps are only good for two yrs? Nope.

I agree with you in the safety and feel the same way, but medical insurance companies will likely use that as a way to deny claims. Not using "per the manufacturers instructions" mean negligence on the users part and that could lead to a lot of lost money if injured.

 Highly doubtful.  They cover falls when people don't use a harness.
