Not what they used to be, but the guarantee still stands! Read on!

I first bought Flexogen back in 1992. I bought two 25 footers and one 50 footer. Last year the female end of the 50 footer got run over and flattened to such an extent that I couldn't fix it. I mailed both ends back to Flexogen, now Gilmour who in turn is owned by Fiskar, and received a new 50 foot hose.

Yesterday this new hose developed a balloon and blew out. Meanwhile the 30 year old hoses are going strong, even the one that this one was meant to replace. (I put cheap plastic replacement ends on it.) I guess that like everything good, this had to be cheapened to generate more profit, so they cheapened it. What a pity not to be able to buy quality products any longer!

UPDATE!
The guarantee stands!
I received this email from the current owners of Gilmour:

"Sorry to hear about the problem with your Gilmour hose and thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issue.  Our hose replacement policy is as follows:  Cut 2-3 inches off of each end of the hose.  Send the hose ends along with a note stating the problem, hose length, and your name, phone number, & street address to:

Fiskars Brands, Inc.
One Sprinkler Lane
Peoria, IL 61615

Once we receive your hose ends, please allow 10-14 business days for shipping of your new hose.

Thank You

Mine were over 5 years old when  the foot liner / insole peeled away and wrinkled up like others have stated. Even after trying to glue them back down, they were never as soft as they once were. I came on here to replace them but after seeing this complaint. I am not sure if I want a new pair if they won't even last past one week or one summer as some have stated.  My bottom soles BTW are still fine- sure worn, but not falling apart.  It was just the insole they was problematic. I tried a pair on in an actual store and still pleased with the look and the fit. For some reason I think they run big. I am a 6 in these, now and years ago. Most others wear a 7.  Because of the price and style i like, I did order these from Amazon May 14, 2015 in Brown. Previous pair from years ago were Jute

UPDATED...TWO MONTHS LATER... left insole has separated, wrinkles up, moves around.  RIght foot squeaks like others have stated. I did not wear excessively.maybe twice a week, 3-4 hours at a time? Problem with footbed occured last week but I CAN NO LONGER  RETURN/REPLACE.(PAST June 14) I HOPE SOMEONE AT AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE ACKWLOWEDGES THIS PROBELEM AND REPLACES UNCONDITIONALLY, OR REFUNDS FOR DISSATISFACTION.  i HAVE SINCE CHANGED MY REVIEW AND RATING OF THE PRODUCT

These crackers used to be so good! Alas, not any more.  Evidently, the formulation has changed - drastically.  They bear no resemblance to what they used to be.  Now ultra crisp, instead of flaky and that delicious flavor (which would end up on your fingers as a delicious powdery coating) is missing completely.  I have purchased my last box of these....

This company DOES NOT HONOR the GUARANTEE.  They will not return any of my emails.  I have two bags that aren't working and they aren't do anything, to bad....These are excellent bags and easy to use.  I switch out my pillows every season and have a difficult time storing them.  This worked out great and not nearly as expensive as the others that are sold in the stores!  Highly recommend.....until NOW.  They will not return any of my emails.  I have two bags that aren't working and this company GUARANTEED the bags for life.  Seven months later, nothing, zip, zero

Be careful who you buy these from, and for that matter, be careful what you end up ordering. My first pair I ordered was the wrong fit, even though the Amazon green check mark assured me they would fit my truck. I failed to see the smaller print stating they were only for trucks with factory flared fenders. MY BAD! In order to ship them back I had to pay almost as much as they cost me, so I kept them instead.

As for these, they fit quite well, but not quite the same as my Ford OEM guards which have an extra mounting point (brace) on the interior part of the guard which these do not have the capacity to use it seems. They appear very stout. I just wish they matched my front OEM guards that have the FORD oval logo on them. My old OEMs have lasted since 2003. If these hold up half that long, I'll be pleased. I lost one rear guard and had to buy this set. If I am happy with them, I'll buy the front set too.

Not as good as they used to be not long ago - maybe because they were out of date upon arrival?

I bought these exact socks over a year ago, and they were wonderful and exactly as advertised (Bemaystar wool socks.) So when they started to wear thin after over a year of heavy use, I of course bought more, both for myself and as gifts for others. The socks that came in the mail today are NOT BEMAYSTAR, but an entirely different brand, 'Rong Zun' or something, it is hard to read (see pictures). They look similar, but are slightly different in color and vastly different in quality, they are thinner than my well worn supposedly identical old socks. I don't even think they have any wool in them anymore, they feel like a thick cotton/nylon blend.

DO NOT BUY, the company has gone out of business, and this is no longer as advertised. So disappointed, I really loved these.

So Ive gone through 3-4 pairs of these over the past 15 years,  but until my most recent pair Ive noticed that Harbinger has reduced the thickness making them. These aren't made with much material as in past years. Now they feel very lite and low quality. I bet they did this to save themselves money and material. Shame on this brand for doing this you guys have lost a long time customer. I will be shopping other brands for my workout accessories

These used to be stunningly good.  They have done something to make them good but more ordinary in quality. ...

CAUTION RE-BUYERS! Packages were recently changed to a much flimsier, cheap, and light material. They are 1/4" smaller than before, and FAR poorer quality. They feel more like brown envelopes than bubble mailers at this point. There is almost no rigidity left in them compared to the previous purchase with this same buyer and exact product (Yens #000 Kraft Economic Grade).

Been buying these for years. Good units.
(Understand that Rio-Rand is NOT a manufacturer, they are a brand-house. They stamp their name on everything from clock-radios to luggage to baby-bottles...and then resell )
Rio Rand/Vancouver-Sun is now substituting a no-name version of this board and the item received is not as pictured.
It is not stamped as Rio-Rand, and is from another manufacturer.

When I asked why my latest order of 12 of them were different, they said that they are "making slight changes to circuit boards, and during the change process they wait until they are sure there is no negative feedback before they begin stamping their name on the boards."
Which all sounds fine and good, except that NOTHING on the circuit board was the same as the picture. Nothing. Not one capacitor, chip, or diode was the same. When a manufacturer changes a specification on something, it doesn't just magically change every single component in the product. and create all new suppliers and supply chain. The boards they are currently selling are from an entirely different manufacturer than picture.
Also, for for Rio-Rand/Vancouver-Sun to state the above excuse is disingenuous and either mistaken...or untruthful.
 They are not a manufacturer of the item at all. They are an office that buys, labels, and resells a cornucopia of wildly different and unrelated products. Google them.
They could have just been honest and said: "We are out of our standard boards but are substituting an equal quality replacement in the meantime" and I would have been ok with that. Moreso than being misled.

So, my point is, if you look at this picture and are pleased with the quality of the components with regard to PCB thickness, solder-work, symmetry of installed components, etc....don't be.
You won't be receiving what you are looking at.

That said, the communications I had with them were very faux-polite and they offered numerous times to replace or refund.
Again, they were very kind.
But they were also either mistaken or downright untruthful, and thus I will not buy from this supplier again. I need consistency in my supply-chain, not someone who is just sourcing the same random stuff that i can, from ebay.

My 3 dogs were loyal users of this product for almost 5 years.  The cost was never an issue because product worth it.  Recently a change was made to the plastic coating as well as the pad.  No longer a quality product.  CX'd my subscription.

This product is listed as "lifetime guarantee" but they don't mean it.  I bought mine in April of 2013 and I need to replace it. The leather is splitting and showing the lining and it is looking ragged.  Apparently they don't replace for normal wear and tear- so don't put the lifetime guarantee designation on your product.  That stinks.

I used to have to receive this from my daughter a few years ago and I was loving it! I even shared a box with a coffee shop and they loved it .But alas the times have changed and so did this company. The products is much more weaker in its service to feeling alert , or taste and smell is far less effective than in the past few years.has no smell wafting true my home or energizing subtle influence .I think for the price the company should not cut corners on customers expectations. And deliver what they promise. Extremely dissatisfied.

Having had these for a few months now, there are signs of wear and tear that indicate to me they might not hold up so well down the road.

Update 1/13/16: Almost immediately after submitting my initial review customer service reached out and contacted me. While sometime there can be problems with the things we buy, what makes a company really stand out is how they respond to these issues. OrthoStep not only resolved my issue before it became serious, but they have managed to shock me at the level of commitment to their service.

Thank you!

I bought a set of these early on and they were great.  I recently bought another set, and I'm lass happy with the quality.  The older ones were not branded, but now they come with a wrap with the brand name around the cable.  The fit is poor and they don't go into the receptacle smoothly,  I'm afraid that using them regularly will damage the port, so they've become "use only in dire emergency" items.  I don't know if they changed manufacturers or if I just got a bad batch,  but they've gone from 5 stars to 3 in my estimate.  Too bad.

No Longer the jeans of a generation or two. I am 63yrs. old and probably have 20 pair of Levi 501's. The jeans of the baby boomers and then some. But all good things, they have come to the end. DO NOT BY THESE JEANS ON LINE!!!! Their are about five types of denim now being used, and the quality ranges from "just like it was in the eighties to, what the hell are these things". The only thing consistent about the 501's (and the 514's) is that the inconsistency in both fit, size, and especially quality is astounding. I called Levi's myself, and they are aware of the inconsistentency in their products. They have opened up new factories so quickly, that the problem went unnoticed for almost 2 years. They were very honest with me, and are working diligently to alleviate the problem. Eighteen pair of mine are perfect in every way. All are consistent in every way. The last two pair I purchased were off to each other in every way. The waist and inseam are off as much as 3/4 of an inch. When I put my wallet in the back pocket on one new pair, The back pocket ripped @ the corner. That when I called them, and they admitted that the weight of the denim was one of the problems. They gave me a credit for a new pair. However, the difference between old and new was to great. Again, go to an Army store if you can, but do not buy on line. Let the buyer beware!!!
