ALL Snowshoes

Limited Lifetime Warranty
All of our snowshoes are hand-crafted in Denver, Colorado using premium American components with suppliers we've worked with for decades. They're assembled by employees that have made thousands of our snowshoes. 

Because of this, ALL of our snowshoes come with an industry-leading Limited Lifetime Warranty.  

We won't make you fill out a bunch of forms along with a copy of your receipt to get your snowshoe up and running.
What does the Limited Lifetime Warranty cover?
If your snowshoe is ever found to be defective in materials or worksmanship, we will reimburse any shipping costs and repair or replace your Northern Lites Snowshoes and ship them back to you at our expense, no questions asked. 

If they are not found to be defective in materials or workmanship (wear and tear or abuse is not generally warranted), then we will offer you the option of repairing your snowshoes at-cost or simply returning them to you expense. 

In cases of abnormal or clearly uneven wear and tear, it will usually be Northern Lites’ policy to resolve the issue in the customer’s favor. This Warranty applies to the original purchaser of Northern Lites Snowshoes.

WHAT IS COVERED

Here are some examples of what the warranty would cover:
  • Broken rivets due toa  manufacturing defect.
  • Broken binding strap due to manufacturing defect.
  • Broken buckle due to manufacturing defect.
  • Broken Spin Binding Knob due to manufacturing defect.
  • Broken frame due to manufacturing defect (not from extreme use or accidents).

WHAT IS NOT COVERED

  • Cosmetic issues like scratching, sun-faded decals, or oxidation/corrosion due to wet storage
