Warranty:

We use lightweight high strength materials, but a customer should not expect our products to stand up to the same use/abuse as products using materials weighing much more than our products.

Big Sky warranty products against manufacturing defects, but does not warranty products against materials failure due to durability issues.

Big Sky uses double coated silicone silnylon fabric for its shelters. This is a very common fabric in lightweight backpacking applications. It is lighter than other heavier "traditional" fabrics, but will last a long time when taken care of. Over on the backpackinglight Yahoo group, on an April 17, 2005 post Brawny stated, "A silnylon rain suit is extremely durable. I have over 5,000 miles on one set, having used it on the PCT in 2001 (1,968 miles- to complete the entire trail) and my thru hike on the AT (2,168 miles), plus numerous local Georgia Mountain trips." Big Sky also received this 2012-07-04 from "Old Drum" a customer in Missouri, "Bought my first [Evolution 2P] at Neals Gap on my 2006 AT Thru-hike when I knew nothing about hiking. Bought my second [Evolution 2P] in 2009 after putting over 7000 miles on the first. Now how over 7000 miles on the second one and still use both when we take grandkids with us. I am a very happy customer." To us that says a lot for the durability of silnylon, and Big Sky's fabrics and tents when taken care of.
