Even though it was made in Vietnam I say it was a fluke you got a bad one. I have the monster fanny and like it a lot. One of the best things going for Badlands is the lifetime warranty. They'll fix it or replace it. Just sucks for the inconvenience. Hopefully you'll get it back before you need it. It would be nice if they at least paid for the return shipping cost.
Warranties mean nothing if it breaks when you're on a 12 day trip. If it breaks 2 min out of the box what is it gonna do in the field under extreme conditions? Freaking rediculous. Now I'll be paying extra for it since I'll have to pay shipping both ways because of their peice of **** product made by sweatshop child labor overseas.
Screw it I'm buying Crooked Horn.
