illumination equipment is built to last
Everything we purchase has an impact. It is not lost on us at illumination equipment that making backpacks out of fancy plastic is antithetical to the survival of the places we so enjoy. But packs will be bought whether we make them or not. So we build packs tough, with the highest quality materials available, and we are committed to making repairs to keep your pack in the field as long as possible
Warranty
illumination equipment offers a three year warranty from the date of purchase on craftsmanship and manufacturing defects. Repairs or replacement will remain within the exclusive discretion of illumination equipment.
These are light and ultralight packs. They are not invincible. Treat them with care: don’t overload them, don’t reef too hard on the straps, avoid skiing with an ice axe in the avalanche pocket or stash sleeve without a pick cover. That said, if your pack fails for any reason, get in touch and we’ll evaluate the claim for warranty. If you’re outside the three year warranty and you are still trying to claim it, your odds are way better if you include a good story or two (and photos!) about how your pack ended up in its current condition. If your pack is not covered by warranty, we will do our best to repair it for a reasonable price.
Returns
We are a lean operation. Each pack from illumination equipment is built to order. We do not offer returns or exchanges except through our warranty program. If you have questions about sizing, materials, or anything else, please contact us before placing your order and we will do our best to guide you in the right direction.
