Poster: A snowHead
|
Just a heads up:
Mammut have issued a re-equip (Retro Fit) on all their Mammut and Snowpulse bags from 2012 models to 2014 models, 2014 -2015 are not affected.
The clips are a self fit free of charge item on the tube that joins the cylinder to the Venturi system. As some social media has already try to say this is another recall I thought it best to get all the facts and options in place before posting, its an extreme rare occurrence that there will be any problems, but Mammut felt it wise to do a belt and braces approach to cover absolutely any eventuality.
Full information is here:
http://www.mammut.ch/venturi-clip
Mammut have an order form here:
http://www.mammut.ch/de/venturi-clip-form
Plus I have a limited supply for urgent cases, its a free First Class post turn round on them.

Thanks livetoski, great service, as usual. I think my Snowpulse (the 15L one, with the blue - or is it yellow? - trim) needs one of these clips? I've just ordered one from you.

Cheers for the heads-up, wouldn't have spotted this otherwise. We don't have any trips planned in the coming weeks (disappointingly), so I've ordered from Mammut to preserve @livetoski's supplies for urgent cases.

@livetoski, thanks for the heads up, I'll order 3 off for the bags I bought from you last season to cover .... I'm not in a rush and want a free headband!

Thanks for spotting this and letting us know.

You know it makes sense.

@livetoski, my package turned up today - thank you. Unfortunately thanks to Royal Mail somehow the envelope had a hole in it, the plastic bag with the clip in it had a hole in it and.....no clip. It looked like it had been dragged from underneath something, the clip and caught on whatever it was and stayed behind
I looked at the Mammut website and discovered that the Mammut agent/distributor is in Macclesfield - about 2 minutes from my office!! I'll go and see them Monday (meetings all day tomorrow) and see if they happen to have any. Otherwise I believe there is a Mammut shop in Chamonix so maybe they'll have one when I'm there later next week.

@kitenski, please can I take you up on your offer? I sent my claim into Mammut over a week ago and I've heard nothing ... and it's getting close to my trip. I work in Derby so maybe we can meet up. I'll send you a PM.

Still no clip, it has been nearly a fortnight since i completed the online form. I have emailed Mammut UK and had no response, I have emailed customer service @ Mammut.ch and had no response, I have messaged Mammut direct on FB and had no response. So is the "compulsory Venturi-Clip" really compulsory because if it is they have 3 days to get one to me. Appalling levels of customer service for such a high value item and could potentially be a very damaging for them if a bags fails to operate as designed, because they couldn't find the time to post me out a small plastic clip.

I wouldn't be worrying about the damage to them!

@qwertyuiop7, they do say it is only needed "at very intense use of the avalanche airbag"

Got my clips yesterday, ordered last week on the 15th and arrived today (from Macclesfield).
No buff also, disappointed, now thinking of getting an ortovox abs bag instead
