Does REI Accept Returns on Used Climbing Equipment?

Return policies vary from store to store, and REI is no exception. While REI is known for its generous return policy, there are some restrictions when it comes to used climbing equipment.

REI's Return Policy for Used Climbing Equipment

REI accepts returns on used climbing equipment within one year of purchase, provided that the equipment is in good condition and has not been damaged due to misuse or neglect.
