Alpine Bond product warranty
All our products are warrantied for 3 years against defects in materials or workmanship. If anything is found to be defective against this warranty we will repair or replace it at our discretion. If it’s your fault we will help out the best we can. Normal wear and tear, misuse, alteration or abuse are not covered.
Repairing your kit
Gear you'll love for longer... Every piece of kit we design is measured against this simple statement. We make gear that lasts - all we humbly ask of you is for an occasional bit of care and the odd bit of post epic maintenenance. Our Repair Station in Hathersage can help you about with some of the most common repairs. Check out the price list here.
Donating your used kit
If you no longer need your kit any longer you can pass it on and give your gear a second life. Bring it along to one of our stores or post it back to us thanks to support from the Alpkit Foundation. We carefully select charity partners to distribute the kit collected through our Continuum Project. Find out how you can donate your kit.
