Peak Design Addresses Flaw With 2018 Anchors โ€“ Will Replace For Free

Wendell Weithers

Peak Design has announced a new set of anchors to replace the recently released V3 anchors. What prompted the customer service announcement? The team discovered that the straps on their V3 anchors were displaying โ€œpremature cord wearโ€ and this is believed to potentially put the gear of their customers at risk. The exact number they discovered was 7 out of 1,000,000.

This may seem like an insignificant number, but if the company markets themselves as the brand with which you can trust your livelihood, its plenty for a 10 dollar accessory that will easily find its way into Amazon carts and stuffing stockings during the holidays. So hereโ€™s the solution.

If youโ€™ve never received the companyโ€™s Anchor Update Kit or still have the V1 & V3 anchors, you can take the anchor survey on pkdsn.com/anchors to receive the new ones.

How do you identify which anchor you have?

V1 โ€“ The oldest version and has a triangle as a logo.

V2 โ€“ A thick cord and the Peak Design logo in the center of the face design.

V3 โ€“ Has the thinnest cord.

V4 โ€“ Has a thicker cord and only as the logo on one side.

Whatโ€™s in the update kit?

(4) โ€“ V4 Anchors

(2) โ€“ Split Rings

The company recommends that if you have either V1 or V3 anchors you should contact them to receive the newest version of the product.

Note: All anchors purchased at PeakDesign.com will come with the new anchors. So, until you V4 in the product description on the various website you frequent, itโ€™s best to get these directly from the source.
