Spent $80 on a "lifetime warranty" garden hose that split in 14 months
The company wanted me to pay shipping both ways plus a $15 handling fee, so I just ate the loss and bought a $30 rubber one instead. Has anyone actually gotten a warranty claim honored on outdoor gear, or is that whole thing mostly a marketing gimmick?

Wait, is $15 and shipping really worse than just buying a new hose every year though? I get that it's annoying, but if the hose costs $80 and lasts 14 months, replacing it for like $25 in fees is still way cheaper than buying a new one each time. Maybe the warranty is less of a scam and more of a case where you just didn't want to deal with the hassle, which honestly is fair too.
