    Gamegear Wet Weather gear

    I’m in need for some wet weather gear for boat fishing, casting lures etc.

    Has anyone had anything to do with this musket gamegear range? Name:  98639202-397F-4E8C-AE5D-F0DD9DB09658.jpeg

    Haven't used their rain gear but had issues with quality of other gear from them, replaced once then failed again immediately then took 6 weeks to get a refund after agreeing the product wasn't up to scratch and even then I had to follow up after being told it would be done several times.

    This is good to hear. I had written it off as spendy Aliexpress stuff like bushbuck.
    Was looking at game gear as seems more affordable. But sounds like you might have to buy twice

    Isn't Desolve a Hunters Element brand for fishing?

    Edit, yes they have the same phone number.

    had the same problem with a rain jacket from them which had the seam sealing fail after one use. I like some of their other gear though, the swampy is my favorite and the socks are good value for $

    It's a shame really the concept was good just the quality was not there, not even close

    Ha! I knew the founder story sounded similar. That writes this off the list!

    Why does that write it off the list?

    I know some of their earlier stuff had issues, I have only had the later hunters element stuff and had no problems

    Agreed, I hated the early Hunters element gear but they've sorted their shit out and have some quality kit.
