      Looking at the details of the warranty they’ll just tell you to spray DWR on your $1000 jacket. I’ve never heard of anyone taking advantage of this warranty, and I know a lot of people who would if the outdoor communities found it to be viable.

      For example darn tough just sends you new socks no questions asked. Many people utilize it, and talk about it because it’s an easy warranty to exercise. I imagine the reason I’ve never heard of this among these same communities regarding gore is because it’s far from easily exercisable.

      I own a lot of expensive gear in my family, between many hobbies. Mostly gore-pro. But I’ve saved a lot on some specific products that had similar specs of breethablilty and water resistance, and been quite pleased.

      I’m sure all these companies make some sort of similar claims with ways in the fine print opt to not honor it, or make it inconvenient.
