Please note ALL safety items have this label on the product page:

Why can’t I return my Climbing Harness?
Because our customer safety comes first. We’re not Ogres, we really don’t delight in denying returns on safety gear, and yes, we realise you probably just tried it on and still has the tags on it.
Due to the critical nature of harnesses and the role they play in preserving your life while you climb, we are not able to accept returns or exchanges on harnesses (or other safety gear as above). Our customers need to be assured that the gear they are buying from is new and in a safe condition. Once a harness leaves our store, if it gets sent back to us, we can’t be certain that nothing has happened to it. Rest assured that all safety gear you buy from Climbing Anchors is in brand new condition, direct from manufacturers & suppliers.

NO Returns on Clearance Items
This is clearly stated on all clearance products:

Please ensure if you are purchasing a clearance item you have sized correctly as we will not accept returns on these items.

If an item you purchased has developed a fault, please lodge as dispute via the ‘Resolution Centre’ on this website (see instructions below), we can then assess if the issue is covered by Manufacturers Warranty and offer for your item to be repaired OR replaced.
