Sounds like bad luck to me. My $200-$300 Lacrosse usually last 4-5 before a slow leak starts.
Yah lacrosse was probably the worst for me. Maybe bad luck all I know is when I keep getting wet makes me start thinking I need to try something different. 4 brands in 4 years
It’s tough. Ive only had good luck with neoprene waders. The “breathables” don’t last a year for me.
Are you using neoprene or breathable?
Ahhh, Yeti and Tannerite…the good old days.
Yeah, that's kind of silly. When I was training my dog, I really couldn't stomach the idea of buying a blank pistol, but I need to do a lot of loud noises with this dog, in a progression from soft to a little louder, to a little louder, etc. My brother, who reloads shotgun shells, loaded up a bunch of shells with just a primer, allowing me to do alot of work with my regular old shotgun. It was a helpful solution and my dog loves gunfire now!
Had my cousin do the same.
I do the majority of my work with .22 blanks. Still stupid expensive.
I'm wearing Kmart camo that's over 30 years. Ha!
The other day I counted up the tumblers, mugs and coozies I have from yeti and tabulated how much money I’ve dumped on them. I’m embarrassed on what I’ve spent on vessels that keep things warm or cold. However the Tiffany blue yeti coozie that fits the white claw cans is money well spent...
I'm a bargain hunter and nearly all of my gear of high quality brand names I have bought at swap meets for next to nothing. For several years I have used non-insulated breathable waders that I have found in new condition for $5-$10 in various brands like Cabela's or Hodgmans etc. They would only last a year or 2 before developing a leak in the butt cheeks. The material would wear thin. I guide for waterfowl hunting out of a kayak sunrise to sunset for 60 days straight, only taking off a couple days for Christmas. Those waders were all stocking foots and I grew weary of always having the mud strip my shoe off, so last year I bit the bullet and bought Sitka zippered front breathable waders. That's one item that I'm certain I won't find at a swap meet.
See if you work in the right industry you just get a pile for free... I think I have 8 lol
Never tried a White Claw. Weird law, in Montana its illegal for men to buy White Claw.
Haha I buy them as gifts for my employees so I can write them off and get one myself.
I talked our HR dept. into giving them to staff as part of their retirement gifts (instead of the typical tie-tacs, clocks, etc.). Then once it happened (not the sole driver mind you) I turned in my paperwork and got a couple of Yetis lol…still got the damn clock too but
