Frank I find this very disturbing because my son and I have purchased a lot of hunting gear from Cabela's over the years, we always found them to be good to deal with BUT when something like THIS happens it really makes one think ...a "lifetime" warranty would imply to me a "lifetime" warranty from manufactor defects (obviously getting it hung on barbed wire would not be covered) unless otherwise specified ....I suppose Cabela's subscribes to the same moral ground as President Clinton when he said " it depends on how you define is" when they say a "lifetime" is not REALLY a LIFETIME ....I hate this kind of crap from a company that I use to have a lot of respect for ..why would a company risk pissing off a good customer over a rain suit when there is room to honestly question their warranty policy with the way it is worded? Good luck ole buddy I look forward to seeing how this is resolved.
