You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

- Warranty & Repairs Policy
Since the start of our adventure, Mountain Designs has been committed to manufacturing and providing products of unequalled quality.
We stand behind our quality, and products bearing the Mountain Designs label carry a warranty against material and production defaults.
This warranty applies to the original purchaser for the reasonable life of the product (a high use item will have a shorter lifespan than a limited use item, as will a poorly taken care of item).
For eligible claims under this warranty, we will repair or replace the product, dependent on the nature of the fault. For all outside brands, we may to send the product to the manufacturer to establish cause of the fault.
- Exclusions
This warranty does not cover:
-
- Adhesives/Glues – Adhesives will naturally dry and break down over time. The longevity of your product will be reduced through heavy use and lack of aftercare, as well as lack of use and long periods of storage.
- Wear and Tear – Anything that is reaching or has reached the end of its natural life.
- Accidental Damage – By you or someone else (e.g. baggage handlers), including rips, cuts, scuffs, tears, abrasions, odours and stains.
- Poor Aftercare – Your product should be cleaned and maintained to prolong the natural life, e.g. boots need to be cleaned and conditioned after use.
- Leaking Waterproofs – Waterproofs that have reached the end of their serviceable life.
- Improper Use or Modifications – Damages caused by misuse or alteration of the product.
- Second-Hand Items – Second-hand items purchased through second-hand reseller websites, e.g. ebay/Gumtree.
