The Bomber Lifetime Guarantee
Since the launch of our BMF series in 2016, we have meticulously iterated upon and improved almost every piece and part of our bindings. Over the last 8 years, we have made more than 200 improvements and spent over 3,000 hours in research, design and testing.
The result is a binding that is tougher, easier to use, and lasts longer than any other telemark binding, ever.
We are so confident in our BMF series that in the 2022/23 winter season, we introduced the first and ONLY lifetime guarantee of any binding, tele or alpine, the Bomber Lifetime Guarantee. This means your bindings are covered from any manufacturer defects… forever. And if any problem arises, you know our team is here to make it right and get you back out on the mountain.
Go forth and shred with confidence!
- Bindings must be purchased directly from Bishop or an Authorized Bishop dealer (starting with 2022/23 production).
- Skis and San Juan Sticks are covered from manufacturing defects for three years from the date they were produced (Oct 1st of the model year)
**Lifetime Warranty Valid for all bindings and parts made or built from September 2022 onward**
Three Year Warranty applies to binding manufactured before September 2022, and to all Skis, and all other products and accessories.
Warranty Exclusions include, but are not limited to:
- Loose or missing binding screws. You are responsible for making sure the screws that hold the binding to the switch plate are in place and tight. It's best to use a little thread locker (e.g. Loctite), and always check them every few days of skiing. If the binding feels loose, check the screws.
- Damage caused by improper mounting (unless done by us.) This includes but is not limited to Switch Pads not installed in the correct location relative to the Switch Plate. All mounting holes must be at least 1 cm away from any previously used mounting holes.
- Incorrectly adjusted bindings (Unless done by us.) Use our Boot Fit Check Tool to check.
- Normal wear and tear.
- Cosmetic issues.
- Any unauthorized changes, modifications, or alterations.
- Damage caused by misuse or abuse; such as, driving over them on the parking lot, or neglect like not properly securing them in your ski rack are just a few examples.
- Damage caused by heavy compression, stress, or hitting other objects such as rocks, trees, lift poles, and people to name a few.
- Damage caused by park features, handrail, and ANY KIND OF IMPACT DAMAGE OF ANY KIND renders this warranty null and void.
- Demo or sale equipment is not covered. Contact us directly.
- Damage caused by any product, solvent or chemical being used on Bishop equipment that has not been approved by Bishop.
**ANY warranty on Bishop's telemark-specific skis is VOID if mounted alpine, AT, or with an alpine heel designed for telemark bindings (e.g. Meidjo's alpine heel).
These are truly telemark-specific skis and the lack of reinforcement at the heel cannot handle the forces of an alpine turn.
