Arc’teryx Recall on First-Gen Procline Ski Boots

Arc’teryx has announced a voluntary recall on their first-generation Procline ski boots. The rear axis pin failed in some boots, which could lead to a fall hazard.

The boots were introduced two years ago and became popular with backcountry skiers and climbers.

The recall affects all boots manufactured between Nov. 1, 2015 and March 31, 2017. Arc’teryx’s Equipment President Jon Hoerauf issued a letter on the recall:

To Our Loyal Consumers,

Today, we’re announcing a voluntary recall for all first generation Procline Ski Boots sold by Arc’teryx Equipment.

We are all deeply committed to the safety of our users and while there have been no injuries reported involving any Procline Ski Boots, our commitment to our users’ safety leads us to issue this recall to make the required axis pin repair. In a small number of boots, the axis pin has dislodged which could cause the skier to lose control or fall and suffer injuries. All 2016 Procline Boots will be repaired to secure the axis pin and allow the boot to function as designed.

If you own a Procline Ski Boot, please visit recall.arcteryx.com for more information and instructions on how to return your boot free of charge for the required repair.

On behalf of Arc’teryx, thank you for your patience as we bring this new technology to market. Innovation and quality are foundational building blocks of our brand design culture. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused and wish you to know that over our 25 year history of making climbing equipment we have been and remain committed to creating products that enable consumers to move safely in the mountains.

Sincerely,

Jon Hoerauf
President and GM
