Warranty & Repair Policy

Arc'teryx proudly guarantees the quality and performance of all our products. Items with defects in materials or workmanship will be replaced or repaired at the discretion of Arc'teryx for the practical lifetime of the product. Product damaged through wear and tear, misuse, or neglect may be repaired at a nominal charge.

All items being returned to Arc'teryx MUST be accompanied by a Return Authorization Number (RA#). This information allows us, when necessary, to preemptively correspond with Customs officials about your returned item. Unfortunately, items shipped to our Returns Facility without an RA number will not be cleared for import by Customs.

Warranty & Repair Policy Questions

How do I submit an item for warranty or repair?

For ease of service, we recommend that you return your product to the store that you originally purchased the item from. Alternatively, if you wish to initiate the return process yourself, please follow these steps:

For Customers in NORTH AMERICA:

• Complete the online Warranty or Repair Request Form or call our Product Service Centre directly at 1.888.326.9900 (toll-free in North America).
• Obtain a Return Authorization Number (RA Number) and full shipping instructions for returning your item. You can expect a response to your request within 5 business days.
• Clean your garment/product before sending it to us. Items requiring cleaning will delay the warranty process, and may incur a cleaning charge.
• Prepare a note explaining the nature of your warranty request and include the Return Authorization Number on all correspondence. Identify the problem area on your product using a piece of low-tack masking tape. DO NOT USE DUCT TAPE, as the adhesive compound from the tape will further damage your item. Alternatively, wrap a rubber band around the problem area.
• Ship the item to the address specified by your Arc'teryx representative. Be sure to select a courier service that provides parcel tracking information and proof of delivery. You remain responsible for the product until Arc'teryx signs for its delivery.

IMPORTANT ! Please do not send your item back to Arc'teryx without your RA number. This information allows us, when necessary, to preemptively correspond with Customs officials about your return.

What is and isn't covered under the warranty policy?

Defects in materials or workmanship are covered for the practical lifetime of the product. Material refers to zippers, buckles and fabrics. Workmanship refers to seams, seam tape and construction. Damage due to wear and tears such as rips, tears, abrasion or UV degradation, misuse or neglect is not covered under our warranty policy but may be repairable for a fee.

What does "practical lifetime" of the product mean?

We build our products to last over extended periods of use, but nothing lasts indefinitely. Fabrics will deteriorate and fade over time and moving parts will wear out. We will cover your product under our warranty policy until such a time that we have deemed the product to be worn out beyond reasonable repair. If the product is showing the signs of its age—for instance, the fabric has become thin or faded, there are rips and tears, the zippers no longer catch, or the cuffs are fraying—we will take this into consideration when assessing your product for a warranty request. All gear will suffer from differing degrees of wear-and-tear, depending upon the user. Equipment used by an outdoor guide for 150 days a year will by comparison, degrade faster than gear used by a weekend skier. By taking care of your equipment you will ensure a longer lifetime for your gear. We recommend that you visit our Product Care page for more information on how to wash and care for your equipment. Use your judgment when assessing whether your product is likely to be covered under our warranty policy. It may simply be time to replace your product, and we hope that Arc'teryx will have the opportunity to provide you with superior quality products and service in the future.

Will Arc'teryx repair my product or replace it?

If your Arc'teryx product fails due to a manufacturing defect, where possible, we will repair the item at no charge to you. We have repair centres in both Europe and North America that employ the same custom machinery and techniques that we use to create the original products. If the product is not repairable, or the cost of the repairs exceeds the value of the product, we may, at our discretion, choose to replace the product instead.

What happens if I rip or tear my jacket or pants?

Skis, snowboards, crampons, axes and other sharp equipment will damage clothing and gloves if they come into direct contact with them. Rips, tears, burns and punctures can occur during normal use and while carrying your equipment, and are not covered under the terms of the warranty. To assist you in keeping your product in optimal working condition, we offer a variety of repairs for a reasonable charge. Contact us and we will be happy to discuss your options.

What if I want to have my garment tailored or altered?

We understand that sometimes you may wish to alter your garment or pack in order to accommodate your needs. Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to do custom alterations or modifications to our packs or garments at this time. For products made from GORE-TEX© fabrics we suggest using a GORE-TEX© authorized repair facility for alterations. There is a list of GORE-TEX© authorized repair shops in your area on the GORE-TEX© website. If you are located in the USA we suggest using Rainy Pass Repairs for your alteration needs; they are GORE-TEX© certified and we find their work and service to be excellent.

Do alterations void my warranty?

We understand that individuals may, on occasion, wish to tailor their Arc'teryx products to suit their needs. If something should fail which is unrelated to any alterations, Arc'teryx will stand behind our products, provided that the Arc'teryx product is being used as intended. For a list of alteration facilities in your area, please visit the GORE-TEX© website.

How long will it take for a warranty repair or replacement?

Our typical turn-around time is three to five weeks after we receive your Arc'teryx product. We will provide you with more accurate expectations once we receive and assess your product.

How do I prepare my item for return to Arc'teryx?

In order to comply with health and safety regulations, as well as for the protection of our staff, we kindly ask that all products be cleaned before being sent to us. Products that arrive unwashed may be subject to a cleaning fee before assessments can be made.

Please remember to obtain a Return Authorization Number (RA#) BEFORE you send your item back to us for repair. Please complete our Warranty or Repair Request Form to initiate the process.

How are the shipping costs handled?

Customers are responsible for shipping items to Arc'teryx. Arc'teryx will cover the return shipping costs. Please ensure that you ship the product using a carrier that can provide you with tracking information and proof of delivery. Customers are responsible for their product until we sign for its delivery.

What do repairs cost?

Repairs covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty policy are performed at our expense. Costs for non-warranty repairs will vary depending upon the situation. We will provide you with as many repair options as possible based upon the amount of work and materials required and the expected end result. After we have received and assessed your product, we will be able to contact you with repair options and costs. Repairs requiring payment will never be performed without your authorization.
