WARRANTY:

LiteAF products are warranted to the original owner against defects in materials and craftsmanship. The warranty starts from the time the item is shipped out and will end one year from that date. If a LiteAF product happens to fail due to manufacturing defects (not wear, tear, nor abuse) we will replace or repair the product free of charge at our discretion. Info on repairs can be found below.

Please keep in mind ultralight packs require the same care as any other ultralight piece of gear… dropping your loaded pack on the ground, picking it up by the shoulder straps rather than the haul loop, overpacking it, or checking it as luggage can drastically shorten its life. DO NOT ABUSE YOUR PACK. Treat your pack gently and it will reward you with many years and 1000’s of miles of service.

If you have a repair or warranty question please email us at info@liteaf.com

REPAIRS:

Repairs due to improper use, accidents, or general wear and tear, may be charged for materials, labor ($55 an hour), and return shipping. All packs returned for warranty issues MUST be recently washed! Click HERE to see a video of how to wash a Dyneema pack. If we have to clean the gear before repair, it will cost $45 just for the cleaning service!
