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.

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.

Unreasonable return charges Ordered a belt and the Orvis was smaller than various other brand 40" belts I have. I reordered a 42" which was fine, but my refund deducted my original shipping cost and charged return shipping charges. A nearly $20 deduction in my refund total I received today. Given other retailer free shipping and free return policies I won't be ordering from Orvis again.

False fabric content on Left Bank Coat I bought the Left Bank double knit sweater coat #GE24NT. The catalog says it is Merino/nylon/alpaca/silk/cashmere/spandex. Calling it a lush merino/alpaca blend. When received, the tag inside states that it is 30% wool, 35% viscose, 35% nylon. I spent a considerable amount of time sewing snaps on before I found this, so I don't think I can return it. I only wanted natural fabrics, this is disgusting. I have always loved their quality, but now I don't trust them.

Very Tough Animal Squeaky Toys I purchased the Trout and Frog Animal Squeaky Toys for my two small dogs (mini size). I also have two large and one medium-sized Australian Shepherds that love to tear the stuffing and the squeaker out as soon as they get a new toy. Well, these toys can co-exist with all five dogs! They have yet to pull out the stuffing or the squeaker and I've had them for 10 days now. It's a new household favourite and I will definitely be purchasing more from Orvis.
