More Clothing & Footwear warranties

Questions shoppers ask

Which brand of gloves & hats has the best warranty?

On paper, Ironclad scores highest, with 1 year of full coverage.

Is a long warranty on gloves & hats really that long?

Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.

Do I need to register to get the warranty?

None of the 10 brands require registration for their basic coverage. Registering can still get you recall notices. Keep your receipt either way.
