The most important part of the harness is the webbing around your waist. It is going to be thicker webbing and it also should not be torn, frayed at all. Also, inspect the buckle, It should not be cracked or broken or chipped in any way. To store this, store in your climbing bag or in a cool dry place. If it is in your climbing bag, make sure it is between your soft goods and your hard goods in your bag."
