You will find the details of our warranty policy on the dedicated warranty page.

We guarantee all our products against manufacturing faults and defects throughout their normal lifespan, with a maximum guarantee period of three (3) years for harnesses, for ice axes, ice screws and crampons. Life expectancy is highly dependent on the frequency and the conditions of use and storage. Damage to the product can greatly reduce its useful life and could require retiring it during its ­first use. Factors that may signi­ficantly reduce lifespan are: falls, gear dropped from height, abrasion, extreme temperatures, prolonged sunlight, corrosion, and chemical exposure. Retire your product if subject to a signifi­cant fall, if you have doubts about its usage history or condition, or if it fails any inspection points.

We do care and bring a lot of attention on the quality of our products. We would like to apologize for the issue. We will ask you to send us an email and provide us with as many details as you can to document your issue. Once submitted, our customer service will review your claim and come back to you within 72 hours with a solution (repair, exchange or credit note).

We’re doing our best to get back to you as fast as possible. It will depend on the issue you encountered and solution we’ll bring to you. We’ll provide you with regular updates on the status of your claim.

You can find some spare parts on our website like crampons accessories or ice screws caps. For any other needs, please get in touch with us by email: warranty.eu@blueice.com.

Failure or damage caused by improper use, carelessness or resulting from normal wear and tear or cosmetic issues which do not affect the functionality of the product are not covered by warranty such as:

• Rips, burns, holes, perforations or cuts
• Scratches, stains, discolouring or shadowing
• Personal repair or product modification or update or use of non-original spare parts.

If damages are due to normal use or your error, unfortunately, they
are not covered by the warranty. However, we offer you the option to
have your product repaired at a reasonable cost through our repair
services. Before any intervention, a quote will be provided for your
approval. Please note that only clean and well-maintained products will be accepted in our workshop. Once the quote is approved, payment of the agreed amount will be made via bank transfer or PayPal. A detailed invoice will then be issued, along with a work order to be placed in the packaging of the product to be repaired, as well as a return label for its shipment. We invite you to consult our pricing grid for more details.

Repair time / Hourly cost : 0,5h / 25€ - 1h / 50€ - 1,5h / 75€ - 2h / 100€ - 2,5h / 125€

The repair time may vary depending on the nature of the damages and
the workload of our workshop. This specific timeframe will be provided
on the work order you receive upon approval of the quote. We strive to
process each repair as quickly as possible while ensuring quality work.
Thank you for your understanding.

Many repairs can be done by yourself, which can often be more cost-effective and faster. We offer a wide range of spare parts such as buttons, zippers, elastic cords, and more. To order these parts or get advice on repairs, you can contact our after-sales service by email at the following address: warranty.eu@blueice.com.com for Europe or warranty.us@blueice.com for the United States.

We are committed to extending the lifespan of our products and doing everything possible to repair them, regardless of their age. However, it is important to note that our stock of spare parts compatible with products dating back 5 years or more is limited. Additionally, in some cases, repairs may be too complex or costly. We believe in the importance of common sense in these situations and will guide you towards the best possible solution for your repair needs. For hygiene reasons, please note that only clean items are accepted, and some items, depending on their condition, may not be repairable.

Yes, all repairs carried out by us are covered by a 2-year warranty. In case of a repair defect, you have the option to return the product to us, and we will repair it free of charge.

You can find the nearest store on our dedicated page here. You will be able as well to filter by product category (bags, ice tools, ice screws, crampons or harnesses).

A PPE is a personal protective equipment, hold or worn by an individual for protection against one or more safety hazards. EU has defined 3 categories of PPE (Category 1 -Lower risk hazards, Category 2 – Serious risks and Category 3 – Fatal or higher risks) and standards that manufacturers have to comply with. At BLUE ICE, we manufacture products which fall under those categories: webbings and slings, crampons, harnesses, ice-screws and ice-tools. All our products comply fully to EU standards and for which we have received certifications of conformity. (You'll find the declaration of conformity on every product page of the website, as well as the size guide).

The user is responsible to inspect his material before using and/or wearing. Always inspect mountaineering/climbing equipment before each use for:

• Dents, cracks, deformations,
• Excessive wear and/or dulling,
• Abnormal play between components,
• Severe Corrosion.

If any of the above are found, discontinue use and retire the equipment. Destroy retired gear to prevent use.

You can easily find and download the instructions of your PPE on each product page on the website www.blueice.com

Clean and dry your equipment if needed. Store in a clean and dry environment away from direct sunlight, heat sources, chemicals or corrosives.

The best way to clean your backpack is to hand wash it with mild soap or detergent, to use a soft bristled brush to remove dust and stain, rinse and air-dry. We do not recommend machine washing and air drying as it can remove coating and damage the exterior fabric.

Let crampons fully dry before long term storage. Never store while still damp or wet. Store in a clean and dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Transport with precaution due to sharpness of teeth. Keep away from sharp or abrasive objects, chemicals, corrosives, animals, and children. DO NOT expose to temperatures above 80°C (175°F) or below -40°C (-40°F). Only sharpen teeth with a hand fi­le. Do not use a grinder as it may overheat and weaken them. A tooth must not be below 2 cm height. Make sure all the teeth are in contact with a flat surface when set on a boot. Super­ficial rust is acceptable and does not compromise the integrity of the tool. To remove the rust, use a cloth and lightly lubricate the tool with a rust inhibitor or grease. Never modify or try to repair broken equipment by yourself. Effect of moisture and frost: For the main strap, UHMWPE fabrics will stiffen in sub-zero conditions. When wet, UHMWPE main strap could be harder to handle. UHMWPE has a low melting point (140°C) and low friction coefficient (slipperiness), compared to nylon and polyester.

Let ice screws fully dry before long term storage. Store in a clean and dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Transport with the tip protector installed to prevent damage to threads. Keep away from sharp or abrasive objects, chemicals, corrosives, animals, and children. Only sharpen teeth with a hand ­file. Do not use a grinder as it may overheat and weaken them. Super­ficial rust is acceptable and does not compromise the integrity of the ice screw. To remove the rust, use a cloth and lightly lubricate the tool with a rust inhibitor or grease. Never modify or try to repair ice screws.

We do recommend handwashing rather than machine washing which can damage fabric and webbing of your harness. Stains can be cleaned with a soft bristled brush, rinse thoroughly and air-dry.

This product is made in part of multifilament UHMWPE. While this material offers an excellent weight to strength ratio, it is vulnerable to heat: It’s melting point is of about 140°C. Do not expose to temperatures above 80 °C (175 °F) or below -40 °C (-40 °F). EFFECT OF MOISTURE AND FROST The webbing on these harnesses will stiffen in sub-zero conditions. When wet, webbings could be harder to handle. Take precautions in a cold and/or wet environment.

Please visit our fitting page HERE to find the most appropriate pack size.

The harness should perfectly sit on the waistline, belay loop should be facing and centered, gear loops placed on both waist sides. You should adjust the leg loops knowing that you should be able to slip a hand between you thigh and the harness. You can measure your waist and thigh circumferences and refer to the SIZE CHART that you will find on each product page. If the measurement corresponds to the superior value, take a size up. If the measurement matches the lowest value, take a size down.

You will find sizing information on each product page for Falk, Hummingbird, Bluebird and Blackbird.

You will find here an explanatory video HERE.

We are aware that as a brand we do not have a neutral impact. However, the preservation of the environment has been in our DNA since day one. We have a duty to protect our playground so that future generations can inherit it in the best possible condition. At our scale, we strive to integrate environmental responsibility into all levels of our business. For example, we are a member of 1% for the planet and, as such, we donate 1% of our profit each year to CREA Mont-Blanc and Mountain Wilderness. In addition, the Mont-Blanc Base Camp, the headquarters of BLUE ICE EUROPE was designed in compliance with the RT2012 standard. Our staff adopts daily actions to reduce our footprint: carpooling, use of recycled paper, creation of a participatory vegetable garden and a compost system, etc. Finally, our products are extremely robust, guaranteed for life and repairable, we favor robustness over disposable. We drastically reduce the use of plastic and polybags and favor recycled and recyclable materials. We also work a lot on our packaging, POS, goodies, etc. in order to have a positive social impact while minimizing our environmental impact. We favor materials sourced locally and/or recycled and/or upcycled and we produce locally when possible.

A large part of our products are safety equipment, so our priority remains to design the most robust, efficient and reliable products possible. However, we try to integrate eco-design at each development stage of our products, when it does not interfere with their final quality.

While trying to be the most responsible in our choices at all levels, in the case of production, we favor above all the places where the level of expertise is the highest.

Chamonix is ​​a world mountaineering spot, an ecosystem has been built around mountain practices. Industries and know-how are available nearby. Our American office is based in Salt Lake City, which also brings together the knowledge and services of mountain-related industries. Thus our European and American development offices are at the heart of skills, practices and playgrounds, which allows us to have the best facilities and talents.

These 2 destinations are at the heart of the playgrounds of our practices (mountaineering, climbing, mountain skiing, etc.). This allows us to easily test our products, immediately, nearby, without having to travel far. This also allows us to be at the heart of the communities of mountaineers, skiers and climbers that populate these destinations. We are thus closer to their expectations, their needs and can take advantage of a good panel of demanding testers!
