LL Bean still guarantee for life? My brother lives in Maine and used to work for Goodwill of Maine. LL Bean would donate tons of stuff to the Portland store and whenever I was up I'd pick stuff up at a fraction of the cost new, lasted forever. Haven't been up in a while but due for a trip, there's a chain of stores called Mardens that purchases overstock inventory etc... Amazing outdoors equipment for 50% off anywhere else. When I had my Dodge Ram I'd fill the bed with stuff!
