If an AvaLung II is worn but not obviously damaged, it still may be ready
for retirement. When in doubt, retire your AvaLung II. Deciding when
to retire an AvaLung II requires careful judgment and a conservative
approach on your part based upon your history of use of the AvaLung
II (and abuse, if any). Any damage or excessive wear or tear requires
immediate retirement. Pay particular attention to the mesh filtration
fabric that covers the valve housing inside the harness. Evidence of
any holes or wear on this fabric calls for immediate retirement. The
recommended maximum lifetime of the AvaLung II is five years.
Anytime you retire an AvaLung II, destroy it to prevent future use.
AdoptIon
We strongly discourage the use of any secondhand gear. You must know
the history of your AvaLung II to be able to trust it.
note: If you get caught in an avalanche while wearing an AvaLung II,
please contact us. We want to hear about your experience.
