Good way to make up for the fact you don't own any segment of the touring market. Even if you're tech isn't leading, worth dominating the warranty world.

Maybe Dynafitt will keep giving out new rad 1 heel pieces

Shout out for old school Dynafit tourlite tech durability.

20+ years old and still going 80 percent strong.

I was skiing with Polly and she mentioned her Dynafits fall off a lot so i pointed out the tri-step toe was a known lemon that Dynafit never did anything about

I'm thinking you have never peeled the top off a 6 month old Rad 1 and ended up spooning a tree ?

BTW the local dynafit guy is an awesume dude, not sure about their head office

in any case this is a good and needed policy

Yeah, i bought Polly's tristep heels a few seasons back. The plastic volcano snapped off (known problem) so i fabricated some new custom alu ones. Heels are fine.

Never bought the Rad 1 cause of flip up heel riser system. It does work good in living room and in most normal humans' ski touring snow/weather conditions but doesn't work very well in coastal damp/wet deep snow, IME. The mechanism gets clogged up/cemented in place/hard to access to flip up...even worse if you transition from rain/wet snow past the freezing level and it all turns into a block of ice.

And yeah, +1 for the B.C. Dynafit rep, great guy/great service.

Lol on them starting this season, maybe they'll stop selling their brakes this year. Saw three break first hand just last season.

"The brand is calling the new policy a lifetime warranty, referring to the expected decade-long lifetime of the product"

Smells like an easy lawsuit waiting to happen in America if you're using terminology like "lifetime"
