I then went to Sierra Stream and mountain (AKA tie-fast), and Lincoln
Grey told me that David Ahn of ADG had said under no circumstance
would ADG honor my warranty, and said that if I wanted the custom fit
waders that David Ahn had agreed to sell me for $40 I would have to
pay $270). He said they would try to see what they could do about the
leaks. I went home and got my waders and gave them to Lincoln. The
next day Ron lewis yelled at me and said I had abused the waders,
since they had holes in the bottom of the neoprene feet. He said that
I must have been walking around with my boots off, which is untrue.

Another fly fishing store in Chico is Fish First. They are a well
respected store in northern california. I told my story to the
manager, Will Turek, and showed him the waders. He said that I got a
"bum deal". He said that the holes were not caused by abuse, but
probably by either how I distribute my weight or gravel that naturally
gets into the boots. He said he had never heard of ADG, but if it
had been a manufacturer that he dealt with he would call them and see
what he could do. He suggested I call the better business bureau.


I'm really confused about how trying to trade in a pair of waders that
don't fit for custom-made waders is a warantee issue. Your problem
isn't with ADG.

I did not call them up trying to trade. I told them that the waders had
leaks. I also asked them about the size difference between medium kings
and large kings. These waders have a 5 year warranty, I and I started
getting leaks after less than 5 months.



Had you called ADG and told them that your feet wore out, instead of
complaining about getting a different custom size, you would have been
sent a pair of spanking new waders. You could have sold these, and used
the cash to get the custom waders you wanted.

You are incorrect about the circumstances



You said in your original post that you got the waders in trade for some
work you did for the shop owner. Maybe the work was worth a pair of
waders he was stuck with, and not a custom made pair.

And no where did I say it was. I called adg, told them my waders had
leaks in them. I asked them the size difference between MK and LK, and
gave them my dimensions. They said a custom sized wader would be more
appropriate. They said to return the waders to Ron and that their would
be a $40 charge for the price difference.

Maybe you should
have gotten some other merchandise he had laying around, instead of
waders you didn't think fit.

The problem with the leaks was all bellow the waist.
Every comment you have made is false, are you a troll?
