I bought em last October. At a retail price of 395.00 you'd think they'd last a minute?
I used them less than a dozen times and they are leaking at the neoprene socks.
I found this out the hard way while shocking LeRoy on the Smith.
They go back to Roanoke next week. we'll see if customer service charges me for "repair" or if they agree that they are defective and replace them.

Hope that works out , I though they had a sliding scale depending on age?
ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

Pastor explains icons to my son: you know like the fish symbol on the back of cars.
My son: My dad has two fish on his car and they're both trout!

Got mine about the same time and so far so good.

FYI - One of the barges/shocking units was leaking a lot of current into the water. It was the one with the cooler that had a lid on it and an elevated pushing rail in the rear.  I'd get a tingle every time I got within a couple feet of it. You'd get a real jolt if you reached in to retrieve a fish that had missed the cooler.  Mentioned it to one of the DGIF guys and he said the same thing and that they needed to make some adjustments when they got back to the shop.

Mine are the cheap ones. Crosswater maybe? I love them, but I don't have to use them as much as y'all do in the mountains. But they have been abused when I do have to wear them.
