    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

    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.

    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

    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.
    Freezer and Borris like this.

    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
