What This Limited Lifetime Warranty Covers. This Limited Lifetime Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the practical lifetime of Columbia Sportswear brand Equipment manufactured by Columbia Sportswear or its affiliates. Only original, unaltered, and unmodified materials and workmanship are covered by this policy. This limited lifetime warranty does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, improper care, misuse, accident, neglect, or the natural breakdown of materials over time. Products should be returned to us for evaluation. Items with defects in materials and workmanship will be repaired or a Virtual Merchandise Credit will be issued. This policy is applicable to United States customers only.

How Long This Warranty Lasts. This Limited Lifetime Warranty lasts for the expected lifetime of the product from date of purchase. For more information please visit our FAQ. Coverage ends if you sell or transfer the product.

What We Will Do. The Warranty Department will inspect the product at no charge to you. If the Warranty Department determines, in its sole discretion, that the Equipment has a defect covered under this Limited Warranty, we will repair or issue a Virtual Merchandise Credit equivalent to the MSRP value within approximately four weeks of inspection. Depending on the season or Equipment, it may take longer to repair certain items. Columbia Sportswear will discard your product if your Equipment is covered under our limited warranty policy. If you would like your original product returned instead of a Virtual Merchandise Credit, please check the box on the printable warranty form or call us no later than 10 days after you ship your product at 1-800-622-6953.

Please include your completed warranty form, or include a cover letter with your name, address, daytime phone number, e---mail address, and a brief description of the problem. A copy of your original receipt or proof of purchase may also be required.
Please note: Equipment must be cleaned prior to shipment according to its care instructions. Products received that are deemed insufficiently cleaned will be returned to the customer unprocessed.
