Yes.

The lower control lines (where the brake setting loop sits) may need replacing during a canopies lifetime as the brake setting gets torn up through repeated slider down openings. But that's pretty much the only piece of line that will need replacing on most BASE canopies.

A BASE canopy will basically never need a re-line because the dacron suspension line will generally outlast the F-111 fabric.

Re: [TreeRat] Line Set
Just an observation.
I saw BASE canopy that wasnt rinsed out in fresh water after landing in seawater that started breaking lines at 150 jumps. Also, I have seen lines that were damaged by the slider grommet during slider up deployments (which isnt your case),
take care,
