I had an Endura Stealth jacket bought me last year and think they are awesome for anything outside and pretty much loved it and wore it everywhere. After a bit of camping the other night i put the jacket down near the fire we had and turned round to get something and when i looked back the jacket was on fire. It must of been only a few seconds and the jacket was totally ruined and has a burn straight through the collar about a foot long. The fabric went up in seconds like it was dowsed in petrol or something. My question is this, should i send it back to Endura telling them of the flammable nature of these jackets? or just chuck it as i got it for a present and don't have the receipt?
Thanks
Not sure what you want endura to do given the events you describe. It was near or on a fire and got burnt - not sure how this is their fault tbh.
Try e-mailing them and seeing if they have some Xmas spirit left ???
I wouldn't waste the postage. Most man made fibres are flammable, I believe. Guess you were unlucky but have learned an expensive lesson. At least you weren't wearing it!
Yeah definitely an expensive lesson but didn't realise they'd be so flammable, thought Endura might want to know?? Probably do already though.
Most wind/waterproof clothing will go up in seconds - if not actually catching fire it'll melt very quickly.
Man-made fleece fibre does the same - high polyester/nylon content.
Not sure why Endura should do anything about it although there's no harm in asking nicely - they might do you a discount on a new jacket if you're lucky.
You'd probably find there's a warning (read, disclaimer) on the label of the product.
Is it idiot night on here tonight?
Accidents happen scuttler and if it is your on here as well!!
