Pah. Snowtrax received them and emailed me to say it looked like a non warranty issue, and more like some kind of heavy rear end impact. Which is of course nonsense, as every time my skis have been out they have been with me. No imapct whatsoever, and I have been treating them better than I treat Mrs H. So I have no idea where they are getting this idea from, apart from to suggest (how very darte I) that they are trying to wriggle out of a warranty issue.
Anyway, the Scott rep is picking them up this coming week and will report back. I will be majorly annoyed if someone tries to tell me its not a warranty issue or not a manufacturing defect.
I will report back. Grrrrr

Have you had them on a plane?

I'd suggest that, if you have been, you tell them you drive every time.

Good point Pablo. I once peeked behind the security curtain, and witnessed my rucsac being thrown off the top of the high-piled luggage onto the ground. Result? A smashed banjo.

They have been on 2 return flights, but I have a superb triple lined padded double ski bag, and I wrap my skis in bubble wrap inside them, tips and tails as well. They have not shown any damage after these flights. It was, funnily enough, after the Easter road trip that the damage was visible. However, I can confirm that there has most certainly not been any impact of any sort that they are talking about. Is this a cop out by them?

I have been in Chambery airport watching them take the ski bags from the luggage-mover on to the conveyor belt and some bubble wrap and a decent bag wouldn't stop them being damaged (or weakened). Point remains - don't let them know you have been on a flight.

Have seen them at Bournemouth airport, using their boots to kick ski/boards through the hole. Hubby went round the back and told them they would be next on the end of his boot if they tried it with our boards.
