I will have had mine 5 years this year and replacing it.
Why? because the cushioning has flattened and it has been dropped a few times from knee height and banged about a bit. Personally I wouldn't risk it. I know the Nolan tech's recommend every 5 years here or 3 if you're in a sunnier climate due to UV.
IP changed his last year but thats cos he got a great deal on one. but I'll admit that we have always had a spare.
