点评:DO NOT RENT HERE! They will send you into the backcountry with broken and grossly un-maintained gear. Of our group of 6 that rented gear we had 5 equipment failures. From snowboard bindings, to boot buckles, and even binding failures. Needless to say this is a HUGE risk when touring in the backcountry.
As for my particular issue, my left binding would engage without quite a bit of finessing (my right binding was totally fine). When skinning up my binding ejected a total of 5 times on the first lap. As a result I had to cut my day short while my buddies all enjoyed a perfect powder day. Note I am not new to touring and have NEVER had an issue like this.
When I took my gear back and explained the situation to Tom he took a look and said “yes, I see there is an issue here”. He said he would talk to his manager and try to get a refund issued.
When I returned two days later to drop off the rest of our groups gear Tom had changed his story and said “we determined the issue to be user error” and that he would not issue a refund.
I cannot begin to express my frustration with this shop as not only did they rent out broken gear and ruin my one day in the backcountry here, but they also admitted fault and then reversed course and lied about it.
DO NOT RENT HERE. You may end up stranded in the backcountry because of poorly maintained gear.
翻译:不要在这里租!他们会把您送到偏远地区,让您带着破损且严重未维护的装备。我们租了装备的 6 人小组中,有 5 人出现设备故障。从滑雪板固定器到靴子扣,甚至固定器故障。不用说,在偏远地区旅行时,这是一个巨大的风险。
至于我的具体问题,我的左侧固定器会在没有太多技巧的情况下接合(我的右侧固定器完全没问题)。在滑行时,我的固定器在第一圈总共弹出了 5 次。结果,我不得不缩短我的行程,而我的伙伴们都享受了完美的粉雪日。请注意,我对旅行并不陌生,从未遇到过这样的问题。
当我拿回装备并向汤姆解释情况时,他看了一眼说“是的,我知道这里有问题”。他说他会和他的经理谈谈并尝试退款。
两天后,当我回来放下我们团队的其他装备时,汤姆改变了说法,说“我们确定问题是用户错误”,他不会退款。
我无法表达我对这家商店的失望,因为他们不仅出租了损坏的装备,毁了我在这里的偏远地区的一天,而且他们承认了错误,然后改变了主意,并撒了谎。
不要在这里租。你可能会因为装备保养不善而被困在偏远地区。
