I have used Orvis products for years I have used Orvis products for years - but no more. The quality has fallen far below acceptable. A pair of waders that leak this year and then I tried the Hydros Cold Water Intermediate and the loop at the end of the line separated on my second day out. Very poor quality. Additionally, the shipping is awful. $9.95 for a small box - a fly line. One order took 11 days and the next good 12 days. Orvis has lost it.

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.

Not our problem My question: "Please can you tell me how to care for my Orvis Field Coat? In particular, I would like to improve its water repellence, which has deteriorated over time" Orvis customer service response: "Thank you for your email I am sorry we do not offer a re waxing service for the field coat. We would suggest, even though this is not dry cleanable seeking advice from a professional dry cleaners to see if they can advise further Apologies we are unable to assist you" You judge for yourself how many stars this deserves.

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.)

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.
