I'm not sure how many of you are aware, but Cabela's recently changed their return policy. They pro-rate returns on cabelas brand clothing (waders, etc) based on wear / time since purchase. I am fuzzy on the details, but it's something like free replacement within the 1st year, then it becomes less. I was very surprised to hear that (and disappointed). The service desk has pushed this as a gentle reminder during recent returns, letting me know that their policy changed but they would still process my return.
Also, they now sell "Service Plans" on all their Cabela's Brand (and probably other brand) equipment and clothing. This was probably the motive behind them changing their return policy. I bought 1 year of protection for my $95 Cabela's fishing rod for around $5 I believe.
I did remind Cabela's that LL Bean has an unconditional return policy
I am still a fan of Cabela's clothing/gear. Even with the modified return policy, still a pretty good guarantee.
