NILS LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Every NILS purchase includes a limited lifetime warranty against any defects in material and workmanship. This warranty applies to the original owner. Limited lifetime warranty means that your garment will be free of manufacturing defects for a practical lifespan of the product.
Applicable only for products purchased in the USA from an authorized NILS dealer with proof of purchase and original receipt. For products purchased in Canada, please contact Customer Service to make special arrangements.
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 NILS Limited Lifetime Warranty.

GARMENT CARE
To wash, follow the care label on the inside of the garment. Zip all zippers prior to washing, and close all Velcro, remove all furs. Use caution around heat sources, including register heaters and fireplaces. Technical fabrics can melt, and this is not covered under our warranty policy. See garment care here.
Note: We take a lot of pride and ownership in our products. We are a small family owned company, if your garment is over 10 years old and zipper broke, it may be time to treat yourself to a new ski jacket!
