I’d like to give a shout-out to Cascade designs for their excellent customer service.  This is the third time (in 20 years) I’ve had a warranty claim on a piece of their equipment, and they have taken care of me well each time.

This time around it was a Trekker chair kit.  On a recent trip one of the upright stays punched through the fabric sheath and buried itself in the dirt.  Field repairs (Tenacious Tape) were unsuccessful.  The chair is old (I’ve had it at least 5 years, perhaps longer) but it’s a nice luxury item, and I wanted one available for springtime.  My wife has a huge backlog of sewing projects, so I figured there was no point appealing to her.  I contacted CD, and they gave me a return authorization number and told me to send it in, they would check it out and fix it.

I got it back today.  They didn’t fix it.  They replaced it with a brand-new one.  No charge.

Their stuff isn’t cheap, but they do look after their customers.

I’m glad you had super results with your issue. I have found working with them using the “general” email contact that they respond very slowly, very slowly. This happens when I used consumer@cascadedesigns.com  address for items that concerned stoves, water treatment and Platypus hydration system. Never tried the Warranty & Repair  link.

Just my two cents worth…..

I have always used the link (5 times), and have always had the same experience as DancingBear.

If CD makes something I want to own, I gladly pay their price as I know I will never pay to replace/repair it due to failure except in the case of simply wearing it out or as a result of my own stupidity.

I contacted them by phone.  I don’t recall for sure, but I don’t think there was even the usual “for marketing push 1, for international sales push 2” nonsense. And the person I spoke with was a native English speaker.

It has been some time back, so I can’t remember which email in particular that I used, however, I bought some of the MSR Carbon Core stakes and 1 of them failed on me just trying them out in my yard. (The tip came off.) I contacted them and they responded within a reasonable amount of time (again, I can’t remember the time frame), and then they had replacements in the mail immediately after. When the package arrived, I found 3 of the stakes in the package! I definitely have no qualms with buying a CD product!
