I bought an Orvis Helo rod last year… I bought an Orvis Helo rod last year and the tip broke in the first 10 minutes of fishing. Now they advertise the new rod is 4x stronger. How about standing behind your product. Obviously a known issue the last rod sucked and I was stuck buying a replacement piece before I caught my first fish. I would go sage anytime now going forward.

I agree I agree. I once considered it an upscale brand but their marketing turned me off. I received a catalogue a few years ago and every model had a tattoo. I’m not judging anyone with a tattoo but no one in my family, including my children, have one. We are a conservative , educated upper middle class family that shops for quality and support companies that share our values. Too bad, it was once Iconic but is making its move to the masses, poor quality and a woke mentality.

Horrible company with customer service… Horrible company with customer service reps that don't know how to do anything but lie. I ordered over $100 in flies for a trip and over a week later only 1 fly has shipped out of 36. First they say 15% off your first order, then when you check out you don't get 15% off anything except select items. They charge your credit card for each individual item ordered instead of one charge likely to get around higher criminal penalties for fraud/scamming customers. They just need to close down since they are no longer brand that wants to sell items.

In my opinion.. In my opinion... the absolute worst and most overrated company on the planet in regard to their fishing products. Orvis is truly clinging to their old identity when they were the only player in town. This is the go to for clueless old men who had no other options, wanted to show off for their old friends and online shopping wasn't available. If you need anything fishing related, buy Simms, G Loomis, Scott, and Hardy.

Failed zipper on pants leg I bought a pair of pants for a safari in Tanzania, the kind with a zipper around each leg so you can make them shorts? Just a few wears in, the left leg zipper failed and became unstuck. Required constant manipulation to keep the lower half zipped to the upper half. Plastic zippers!( REI uses metal zippers) These pants cost over &100 and of course once you are out on safari there is no where to return or replace. Boo! (PS photo safari no animals injured or inconvenienced.)
