Figured I would throw up a new thread, as I was really impressed with Bare today.
I bought a pair of blackwater (breathable) waders around 2 years ago. I had gone through 2 pairs already (blown knee seams) and was now on my 3rd. The knee seams on this third pair blew out once again when I was on the island this winter, and I just went to go get them fixed now.
Well I had bought them from HUB sports, and had gotten them replaced no problem both other times when I took them in (when Roger was still owner). I went in this last week (forgetting that Roger sold HUB) and realized I didn't even have the receipt anymore for the waders. I was curious to see if I could trade in this old pair for a pair of the new upgraded ones. The new owner of HUB was very helpful (and a very nice guy) and told me that he would honor my purchase there, but that it would be much quicker just to go to the actual factory in Langley (he only makes a trip into BARE once every month or so).
Well I went out to Langley today and was very impressed. I was in and out within 10 or 15 mins with a pair of the new and improved waders. I am extremely happy with their customer service, and hopefully the new waders will pan out to be just as good as my experience today. Anyone with the knee seam problem should definitely go to the factory and give it a try.
