Do they really give a lifetime warranty on their branded waders? It’s time for a new pair and if that’s true they’ve got my business

Cabelas Wader Warranty
- Thread starter gtmcwhorter
- Start date
I once had a conversation at an upscale furniture store with a salesman about the lifetime warranty on one of their recliners. My question was who's lifetime are we talking about. After much dodging about and a couple of disappearances to the store manager's office I learned that it was 5 or 6 years which would be the life expectancy of the chair.

After asking on another format I broke down and called Cabelas this afternoon. The lady in customer service told me that they have a lifetime guarantee against materials defect (i.e. seam leak) but a 90 day warranty against wear and tear.

I brought in my seven year old super mags last year. They had developed a leak around one of the seams. I left with a brand new pair of waders for free.
I bought a pair of Cabelas waders 20 years ago. I’ve never had them to leak so far. I don’t use them year-round, but they’ve seen a lot of hard use in that time.

Same situation i had last year, had a pair for almost 6 years and knew nothing about the warranty. i just always toughed it out as the leaks weren't that bad and i tend to be cheap. Hunted with a buddy last season who swore by the warranty so later that day after the hunt i rode up to the cabelas in Acworth and marched in to the return counter and asked if all the warranty talk was legit and the guy working said it was and to grab another pair so i did and left with new waders. Guy i hunted with that morning after telling him how the exchange went drove up there the next day and returned a pair of his and was given a more expensive pair than he started with originally due to them being out of his previous model. I think too many people abused the system and thats why they had to change it.

I can hardly get 20 days out of a pair of waders. I would be tickled if I could get a pair to last a whole season....

USIA just ordered mine. After doing a ton of research and calling folks I settled on them. Made in America in Oregon. Lifetime warranty. They don’t have “pretty camo.” I opted for od green base with their coyote brown top color. They make military wet suits/diving suits etc. Reviews are all excellent. Will post a review once I get mine in 4 weeks.

Same here with 4 year old waders. They really do stand behind their stuff.

They were out of the bogg high ankle in size 16 (would have been an additional 3 weeks) so they gave me the Boggs insulated dive boots (mid ankle) for $50
