Mountain Hardwear's lifetime warranty is a sham. Despite noting that my jacket was defective and had a lifetime warranty, they would not replace it. They admitted a defect in the waterproofing/laminate coating, and said the jacket had plenty of life in it. However, they would not repair or replace the jacket but said I could buy a new jacket instead. The other option they gave me was to wear the jacket (despite not being waterproof as claimed) as there was "plenty of life left in it." The warranty is false advertising.
