LL Bean "lifetime" warranty doesn't exist anymore for most of their products and the quality has gone to absolute sh!t in the last 5 or so years. Last winter coat I bought from them starting falling apart (they used glue instead of stitches) after 10 or so wears. Big waste of $300. I have not managed to find anything in the under $300 range that lasts more than a season or 2 before falling apart.
