DRAKE WADER PROBLEMS

Postby BradBynum » Mon Jan 05, 2009 3:03 pm

Anyone else experiencing problems with their drake waders leaking??

I have tried to call Drake and even emailed them and have not gotten a response. Pretty disappointed since they started leaking the 3rd time I wore them and can not get anyone from Drake to answer the phone or an email.

Wow, glad I didn't fork out that 285 for them.

I hope they work the problems out.

Well, I'll add that to my philosophies of 1) Never buy an automobile during its' first year of manufacture, 2) Never eat at a restaurant during its' first couple of weeks of opening.

3) Never buy a new pair of waders from a company just starting to get into that business segment.

I actually found these for 209 before the season at rogerssportinggoods in MO. No tax and free shipping lured me in. Plus all of those waterproof pockets gave me room to store more stuff that I really did not need.

I did get in touch with Drake today after calling about 20 times and I have to deal with the store where I purchased them. So far so good. Sonya at Rogers has me shipping them back to them. We will see how that turns out.

Like ducman said they have been closed for a couple weeks. They will stand behind their products. They make the best waterfowl hunting clothing I have ever used and know they will make them good. If you cant get any help send me a pm and I will help you out with them.
