There are some products where a return period of greater than 1 year makes sense: Seasonal equipment that you can't use regularly. You may buy a snowboard or similar equipment, use it once, and then put it away until next season.
If on the second use (greater than 12 months later) they break, it would be nice to be able to return the equipment for being defective.
