here is a little secret i picked up on years ago. for one time only
go to either eddie bauer or eastern mountain sports. once there
buy their raincoat of whatever it is you need. both of these companies
offer a "guaurentee for life". i have with eddie bauer for example
bought a pair of sunglasses and broke them 4 times. each time
taking them to a store with no reciept and walking out with a new pair.
once i had a down vest that had a hole in it after two years of use.
i took it in and it was out of stock so they told me i could get any coat in
the store for free. at eastern mountain sports i bought a gore tex raincoat.
i used if for 3 years and it stoped being waterproof. i took it in with no reciept
and traded it for a brand new one. welcome to the exciting world of taking advantage
of giant corporations.
