I conquer duuude.
Sent in a pair of guide model gortex 2 years back. I purchased them back in 1999, when they first came out. They were $600+ back then, but they were worth every penny. Anywho, sent them in for repair and was sent a brand new pair!! Apparently, the inner gortex layer had seperated from the outter shell, and there was a lifetime guarantee on them!
I think they're around $300 now..
Customer service, guality, looks(i look soo phrunky in them). There's no question. It's simms for my buck.
aayyoooooo
