Drake waterproof Boonie leaks and I get charged for returing it!
« on: September 23, 2023, 07:09:01 PM »
I ordered and received a Drake waterproof boonie for chores and hunting.  Out of the box, I was not overly pleased when it says "Made in Sir Lanka" but that's the times we live in.  Today after work I went to feed the cows and of course it's raining so I put on my new waterproof boonie.  It leaks like a sieve around the stitching, so by the time I was off the tractor, ran is running down my face.  I filled out a return slip on line and will get a refund minus a handling fee.  So, I bought a waterproof boonie that leaks, and I'm the one who has to pay for shipping it back?

I guess it only identifies as waterproof.

Not happy with Drake at all.

I dropped the Drake crap brand after one try. Shell makes foe  nice mild and dry weather camo top.

Like you said, that's the world we live in unfortunately. Put a new Tight Spot quiver on my bow this summer. It had a terrible rattle coming from the hood of the quiver, couldn't seem to fix it. Contacted them and after a week of arguing back and forth they finally said, "well you can either take it apart and re-epoxy it yourself or ship it back to us and we'll do it". After trying unsuccessfully to fix it myself, I sent it back. $31 out of pocket to ship fed ex ground for a faulty product that I already paid way too much for to begin with

If you want to try something different I recommend the Stetson Bozeman. I bought one for doing chores, gave it a couple of coats of Scotch Guard and it keeps me pretty dry on days like today.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.
