The sun destroys dive gear faster than anything. Next would be mold I suppose.
I "inherited" a few old BC's in the past. A few bright orange Original Scubapro stab jackets and an old Dacor jacket, all from the late 70's.
All of them held air and the inflators functioned fine so I would have used them if I was so inclined to use those types of contraptions, but I'm not. so I handed them to the next person. The look on their faces is priceless, kind of like "Tag, your it!"
They were very basic early models and most people who use jackets probably would see them as obsolete, so I'll bet they are peacfully resting under about 10' of garbage in a landfill somewhere. Actually probably the best place for them.
