Great on first wear, fell apart in gentle cycle in washer

By Backcountry.com Employee March 26, 2009

I bought 2 pair of these, enjoying the design and the material. They were incredibly comfortable on the first wear. On first wash (in two separate loads) the first pair blew out the crotch stitching (they were fine before I put them in the washer), and the second pair the stitching started coming out (also fine before first wash). They have a lifetime warranty, but I have a feeling that I will end up spending at least an equal amount of money shipping and reshipping and reshipping each replacement pair.

Buyer beware.
