Ardica has issued a notice of a manufacturing flaw in the interface between the Mountain Hardwear Refugium (men's) / Radiance (women's) jackets and the Ardica MOSHI Power System battery and heating system.

January 2010 Black Diamond Xenos Harness product advisory |
Product advisory for Black Diamond Xenos Harnesses.
Black Diamond has issued a notice that some Xenos Harnesses are not meeting internal quality requirements as they pertain to the Ice Clipper slots. Some slots are becoming unstitched during use. This does not present a customer safety issue and does not affect the ability of the harness to hold you in a fall. Black Diamond will replace the waist belt of your harness, though they cannot guarantee a timeline due to limited quantities. Replacements will be done on a first come / first served basis. The Xenos Harness is safe to use throughout the ice climbing season, so you can send your harness back in the spring if youd like. Until then, Black Diamond suggests backing up your Ice Clipper slots using the black rubber keeper strap that comes with the Ice Clipper. Our item number for the Black Diamond Xenos Harness is 217420.
