Do any Hunting-specific clothing companies have a usable warranty?

[swampmountaineer]

As I've been attempting to hold on to at least a few of my dollars while getting into hunting, I've become a huge stickler for gear with lifetime warranties. Specifically with clothing, I mix and match to get camo and earthtones from non-hunting companies like Patagonia, Marmot, etc. I'm not at all opposed to getting hunting-specific gear, but every time I need something new, I essentially have the choice between a no-questions asked, lifetime warranty from a company like Mountain Hardwear, Sea to Summit, etc. and a vague promise that this is the greatest product I'll ever buy and no mention of return or repair from First Lite, etc.

So are there companies out there that I am missing that offer a usable warranty on hunting-specific clothing? I probably won't find my next pair of duck waders on sale at Patagonia, but for pretty much else I wear, it's hard to see the benefit of spending twice as much on a "system" with Kuiu or Sitka when I can get something on sale that I can upgrade in the future without even having to turn in a receipt. Or buy at REI and return at the end of the season because "I didn't like it." Please educate me if I am totally missing something here, or not aware of a company that has a stronger policy.

I had a useful reply until you stated that you’re one of those turds who returns worn out gear. I want to choke slam those people when we cross paths @checkout. Abuse of a generous warranty is a reason companies don’t offer generous warranties.
