My waders posting and the mention of LL Bean brought the suggestion that I return my current waders for exchange under the 100% satisfaction guarantee (lifetime warranty). I still have the original shipping information. Waders were shipped to me on 2/25/05. So my question is, after 6+ years of use do I really have a claim that I'm not 100% satisfied and entitled to some sort of refund or exchange? These were a great pair of waders. I think they've just developed what I would call pressure leaks. I've never been able to find a leak when I've tried and I suspect the material has just lost its waterproof qualities or maybe there is the slightest leak along a seam that only shows up after several hours in the water. I could see a lifetime warranty on a rod because it's not really going to wear out from use but waders? None of them last forever. I guess I feel in this case to claim I'm not satisfied with something like waders after 6 years is really stretching the whole concept of a warranty/customer satisfaction guarantee? Thoughts? Comments?
