I bought a rain jacket in April and used it sparingly. After a few months, a long, straight tear appeared on the bottom back panel, right along the lamination/seam line. This kind of damage indicates a structural or bonding problem with the material. I submitted a warranty claim with clear photos and got an automatic confirmation, but no response for over a week. When I finally heard back, the only solution offered was a small adhesive ‘gear patch’ (essentially a sticker), which is not a suitable fix for a complete seam/lamination failure. I followed up to clarify that the patch wouldn’t resolve the structural issue, but received no further communication. The company only reached out after I posted an honest review on another platform. Even then, my review on the company’s own site was never published, which raises concerns about how many negative reviews might be filtered out. Ultimately, the jacket is unwearable, my warranty claim was denied as ‘accidental damage,’ and I was told to pay for third-party repairs. This experience has been disappointing and contradicts the brand’s stated values and warranty commitments. I have many other outdoor products and have never encountered a warranty issue handled this poorly. I hope the company can enhance the consistency and transparency of their customer service and warranty process. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend the brand.
