Gear fails of 2025

NF ATACR 7-35's zero stop was defective out of the box and had to be sent to them for repairs. Turnaround time is 6-8 weeks (we'll see) and they didn't provide a label so I had to pay for shipping to get a factory defect fixed which kind of sucks.

SO Redcliff- zipper failed mid hunt. I just had the zipper replaced after it failed on a bear hunt in May. The new zipper had less than 1 week in the field.

Nemo chair- failed in the weirdest way possible.

Mathew’s quiver- hood broke while busting brush. Still usable but annoying considering the price of their accessories.

Sevr 1.75 hybrid- bad penetration, broken/bent blade. I’m going to back to 2 blade sevr/fixed combo

Did Nemo warranty this? I've heard good things about their warranty but never had to actually use it myself so I'm curious about your experience.

Swarovski NL 12x42 lost collimation on a light drop. Still usable, just feel a bit cross-eyed using them.

That happened to my buddy’s as well. SWARO fixed them for free in about 3-4 weeks
