Spyder offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, which is applicable on outerwear only—ski jackets and ski pants. Spyder's warranty is only valid on items purchased through an Authorized Spyder Dealer to the original purchaser, and the purchaser must provide an original receipt for purchase.
DEFINE "LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY"
Limited Lifetime Warranty means that your garment will be free of manufacturer defects for a practical life span of the product—it does not mean the garment will last your lifetime. Lifetime of a product is determined by the amount and type of use plus care of the garment. All garments eventually show signs of wear, and wear-and-tear is not covered under Spyder's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
WHAT WILL SPYDER DO WITH MY GARMENT?
First we will determine if the garment is under warranty coverage. At Spyder's sole discretion, we will first try to repair a warrantied item; if we can't repair the item we'll replace it at equal value. Repairs that are not covered under warranty will be repaired at the owner's expense. You'll be notified of this choice before we commence the repair process. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express for repairs not covered under warranty. Be advised that Spyder will repair to functional utility. Zippers, pulls, logos and snaps will be repaired or replaced to the best of our ability. We're good, but a repair often looks like a repair; for instance, Spyder uses custom colors and snaps and we may no longer have the original zipper color or snap design in stock. Spyder does not perform alterations.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER SPYDER's WARRANTY?
HOW DO I RETURN MY GARMENT FOR WARRANTY EVALUATION?
Follow these steps:
Please have your garment in hand when you call so we can help you locate the style number. Any return product that does not have a RA number will be refused.
HOW LONG DOES A WARRANTY/REPAIR ORDER TAKE?
Depending on the time of year, expect a 2-4 week turnaround. Some repairs may take longer if we have to order material or parts.
WHO PAYS FOR THE SHIPPING ON A RETURN?
Spyder will cover return shipping and cost of repair on qualifying warranty claims. Shipping to Spyder is your responsibility. Spyder recommends shipping with a service that can provide tracking information, we are not responsible for packages lost in transit to Spyder.

DOES SPYDER MAKE REPAIRS?
If the repair is not covered under warranty, we'll be happy to repair it for you. There will be a reasonable cost involved, but we'll notify you first of any charges. Be advised that repaired garments most likely will not appear brand new. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express for repairs not covered under warranty. Note: the only things that last forever are death, taxes, and a love for skiing. If you've had your jacket over 10 years and a zipper broke, we suggest it's time to treat yourself to a new jacket.
HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY SPYDER APPAREL?
To wash, follow the care label on the inside of the garment. Zip all zippers prior to washing, and close all Velcro. To boost waterproofness, we recommend NIKWAX Tech Wash. Use caution around heat sources, including register heaters and fireplaces. Technical fabrics can melt, and this is not covered under our warranty policy.
CAN I USE WATERPROOFING PRODUCT WHEN I WASH MY SKIWEAR?
Sure. We recommend NIKWAX TX Direct; visit NIKWAX for options and follow the package's instructions.
CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT ZIP-OFF SLEEVE (GOOGLE WIPE, BELT, HOOD, ETC) FOR MY JACKET?
Sorry, due to storage, production, and constantly progressing designs, we can't replace lost components.
