He breaks a thumb tab every trip? What is he a gorilla? I’ve had two different flipovers with them and NONE of them have broken. Same with my buddies.
No not every trip. I assume it has yo do with dragging it behind a sled with gear in it. Which I assume you don’t do. Don’t shoot me I’m just the witness. I’ve seen so many issues with both there hubs and sleds I can’t support them. The new ones look more solid. But I’m thinking day late and a dollar short. I can’t recommend them after seeing the endless issues. I get you are on the promotional side. But you gotta admit they were cheaply built for a long time. I’m not trying to insult a brand you work for I’m just speaking honestly

Yeah I do store my gear in them when I’m hauling it with a sled. many times a year. And I have acknowledged many times that their quality has greatly improved over the last few years from what it was. But most of the people that talk about the low quality of clam haven’t used one over the last 3 years or it’s from a second hand source. I have a heard time buying that your buddy breaks those off multiple times a year. Especially because those tabs are covered up by the canvas when folded down.
Also I’m just on their staff. I don’t get any money or commissions from them to say this. If someone buys another brand it doesn’t effect me. I just get really annoyed by the pissing matches brand specific people always have to have. And it’s not just Clam vs Otter.
