L.L.Bean, Patagonia, and more companies that stand behind their products with lifetime warranties
2017-05-31T21:08:00ZWhether you're looking to buy a new pair of shoes or a camping tent, it's always a good idea to consider buying one with a warranty.
Not only does it ensure that your purchase can be replaced if defective, but it's proof that the company you're buying from has faith in what it makes.
Most warranties last for a year, but in some rare cases a company will stand behind its products for the rest of your life.
In a perfect world, a lifetime warranty would cover you from everything except theft, but the exact terms can vary from company to company. Below, we've collected a list of our favorite brands that offer lifetime warranties, with links to take advantage of them.
Every warranty is different, so be sure to read the fine print before making a final order.
If you're not buying directly from the company, be sure you are purchasing from a dealer authorized by the original brand. In some cases, you'll need a proof of purchase before you can take advantage of a warranty, other times you'll need to register what you've bought through a company's website.
Those caveats aside, lifetime warranties are a great way for you to get the most out of your purchase. You can rest easy knowing that you're covered in case it breaks during regular use.
