Over $700 bucks and only ten years old. I’d call that over rated.


A lot more years left in it. And the look suits many types of occasions

I have an LL Bean that I’ve had since highschool in the 90’s. Pretty sure it was under $100 then. And looks like unde $300 now Zero repairs. Doesn’t need waxing. And handles Great Lakes winters no problem


Cool - love that for you

LL bean also had a lifetime warranty at that price in that day.
Sadly they got rid of it. Although I haven’t had to use it on any of their products. Usually would catch a button on something and can see that back on myself.

Interesting at $500 you’d think it would have a warranty for lifetime free waxing.

But as others have pointed out. Their marketing is about price point. If it was $100. With same quality. Would people be raving over it. Unlikely. People don’t rave over LL bean. Or Eddie Bauer. Yet both have great outdoor gear that will last decades.
