Men's Brands With Lifetime Warranties That Will Outfit You From Head To Toe

They only get better with age.

Men's Lifestyle Editor, The Huffington Post

What is a lifetime, anyway?

When a brand says its product is protected by a lifetime warranty, it's not really talking about your lifetime. Sorry. Rather, they mean the lifetime of the product (whatever that might be). Normal wear and tear? Generally not covered. But if your Canada Goose jacket falls apart, or in the case of Bogs footwear, your boots just don't feel good anymore, the odds are great that if you send it in or take it back to the shop they'll take good care of you.

For some, it's a marketing strategy but for others, such as L.L. Bean, it's "the very foundation of this brand.”

Here is a list of brands that offer either a no-strings-attached lifetime warranty, or one of those more mysterious "Limited Lifetime" deals.

Any way you spin it, this is the gear that will stick with you for a long, long time.

The North Face
Warranty:"The North Face® lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, regardless of the age of the product, but it does not cover normal wear and tear. Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal use. Regardless of how carefully you use, or how well you care for your The North Face® product, it will eventually begin to show age and wear. Common examples of wear and tear that would not be covered under the lifetime warranty include colors fading, abrasions on the bottom of packs or at the cuffs/pockets from rubbing when you walk and general breakdown of the materials over the years."
Filson

We guarantee the lifetime of each item against failure or damage in its intended usage. Our guarantee covers: Every item for the lifetime of the product; failure of workmanship and craftsmanship; failure of materials; and production defects."
Doc Martens For Life
Warranty: "With a little help from you, these boots and shoes will give you years of wear. Even so, they will eventually wear out. When they do, we will repair or replace them. We will go on repairing or replacing them for the rest of your life -- guaranteed. For Dr. Martens, delivering value for money does not mean making things cheaper. It means giving you a product that will last."
Darn Tough Socks
Warranty: "If for some reason you are unsatisfied with the comfort, fit or durability of our socks you can return them for a replacement pair or a full refund of the purchase price."
