[C320-list] Jackline UV degredation

[Irving Grunes]

Below is the reply that I got from Rock-N-Rescue.
Draw your own conclusions but I would suggest getting a larger webbing
rather than try to economise, if there will be prolonged UV exposure.

Sorry for the confusion in my reply – the degradation would include both
strength and color over time

Tony,
I was not thinking about colors fading but rather the material strength
degrading because of UV exposure.
Thanks for getting back,

My webbing does not - I do agree that certain colors may resist sunlight a
little better but mine will degrade in color if left exposed

Does the nylon webbing and tubing that would be used on a boat for jacklines
have Ultra Violet protection against deterioration built in?
I expect certain colors may have more intrinsic protection.
