Does Snowboarding Gear Come with Warranties? Here’s What’s Covered

By: Wildhorn Outfitters

Absolutely. At Wildhorn Outfitters, we believe trust is the foundation of every adventure. When you invest in gear to get you out into the snow, you deserve the confidence that it’s built to last. A solid warranty isn’t just a policy for us—it’s a direct reflection of our brand promise to deliver enduring, well-crafted products that remove friction from your time outdoors.

The Foundation: What Warranties Generally Cover

Most reputable snowboarding gear warranties focus on defects in materials and workmanship. This means if something fails due to how the product was made or the materials used—and not because of normal wear and tear or accidental damage—it’s likely covered.

Key areas often included:

  • Seam Integrity: Zippers that fail, stitching that unravels, or glued seams that separate prematurely.
  • Material Flaws: Fabric that tears unexpectedly, waterproof membranes that de-laminate, or insulation that clumps unevenly.
  • Hardware Failures: Buckles, ladder locks, or binding components that break under normal use.
  • Manufacturing Defects: Any issue that clearly came from the factory floor, not the mountain face.

Our warranty is a pledge of enduring quality. We care enough to do things the right way, every time. If a product doesn’t hold up to its intended use due to our craftsmanship, we want to make it right—so you can get back to making memories with friends and family.

Understanding the Limits: What’s Usually Not Covered

Being transparent means being clear and honest. Warranties aren’t unconditional. They typically do not cover:

  • Normal Wear and Tear: Scuffs from your board, faded colors from the sun, or gradual loosening of elastic.
  • Accidental Damage or Misuse: A tree branch ripping your jacket, a burnt hole from a campfire ember, or damage from improper care.
  • Modifications: If you or a third party alters the product, the warranty is often void.
  • Purchases from Unauthorized Retailers: Always buy from trusted sources to ensure your warranty is valid.

Think of it this way: a warranty is for when the product itself fails you, not for the epic, adventurous life you live in it. That life is exactly what we build our gear for.

More Than a Warranty: The Commitment to Your Adventure

For us, a warranty is just the starting point. Our entire design philosophy is built around delivering discovery without worry. When we create a piece of snowboarding gear, we engineer it to be easy-to-use and durable from the ground up.

We’re not building gear just for a single season; we’re building it to be part of your story for years. Our products undergo rigorous testing because we know you might go from a peaceful hike through a snowy forest to an energetic snowboard session in the same afternoon. The gear needs to keep up with your spirited and adventurous life.

Pro-Tips for Gear Longevity & Warranty Success

  1. Read the Care Label: This is your first line of defense. Proper washing and drying can preserve waterproofing and insulation for years.
  2. Store It Right: Don’t cram your wet gear in a backpack for weeks. Air it out, store it clean and dry, and avoid extreme heat.
  3. Keep Your Proof of Purchase: Always hang onto your receipt or order confirmation. It’s your ticket to a smooth warranty process.
  4. Reach Out Directly: If you suspect a defect, contact customer service with details and photos. A great brand, driven by gratitude for its community, will guide you through a simple process.

So strap in with confidence. The right gear comes with a promise—a promise that it’s crafted to facilitate those memorable experiences in nature. Now get out there, find that fresh line, and share the wild.
