WARRANTY POLICY

Limited Lifetime Warranty: Packs & Bags

Dakine offers a 10 year Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects within the normal scope of use.

Dakine will not be responsible for any costs, losses or damages incurred because of loss or misuse of the product.

The term Lifetime/Lifespan does not apply to the owner's lifetime. Our product is not meant to last the lifetime of the owner but the lifetime of the product.

Manufacturing Defects typically show up on new or unused product, early in the product's lifespan. Each situation is different and it is up to the discretion of Dakine to determine the lifespan of the product and whether a product has a Manufacturing Defect or if it is suffering wear and tear.

In the case that a product does have a Manufacturing Defect Dakine may choose to provide you with the necessary parts for the repair, rather than replace it.

Airline Damage

Dakine is not responsible for damages caused by transit damage. If the product is damaged by an airline or transportation company, please contact the transportation company directly and immediately following the incident. If the product is in need of repair, (such as a broken wheel) Dakine will assist by providing the parts necessary for this repair, but the product will not be covered under warranty; meaning the customer and/or airline will be responsible for completing the repair once the parts are received (most repairs can easily be done at home with normal household tools). These repair parts will be issued based on availability as Dakine does not carry old inventory or parts and may not have the parts necessary. If Dakine does not have the parts available to make the repair, take the claim up with the Airline. If the product has a broken wheel and/or is in need of parts, please fill out a warranty claim.

Two, (2), Year Limited Warranty (All Gloves, Accessories, Windsurf & Kite Gear)

Dakine offers a Two, (2), Year Limited Warranty, from the time of initial purchase, against manufacturing defects within the normal scope of use. If the product's age is in question, proof of purchase to verify the product's age is necessary upon request.

Dakine offers a Two, (2), Year Limited Warranty, from the time of initial purchase, against manufacturing defects within the normal scope of use. If the product's age is in question, proof of purchase to verify the product's age is necessary upon request.

*Two (2) Year Warranty applies to purchases made in 2020 and beyond. All apparel purchases made in 2019 or prior, a One (1) Year Limited Warranty will apply. All outerwear purchases are covered under the Two (2) Year Limited Warranty, regardless of purchase date.
