At Nordsmin Shop, we stand behind our outdoor adventure gear like we stand behind our commitment to your satisfaction. If your equipment doesn’t meet your expectations, we’ll make it right. Below you’ll find our straightforward returns process designed for adventurers by adventurers.

We accept returns within 15 days of receiving your order. To be eligible for a return:

  • Item must be unused, in original packaging with all tags attached
  • Proof of purchase is required
  • Certain safety equipment cannot be returned (see exceptions below)
Note on Safety Equipment: For the protection of all adventurers, avalanche beacons and transceivers cannot be returned once opened due to the critical nature of this life-saving equipment. All sales are final on these items unless defective.
