Soft gear may have slight blemishes as part of the manufacturing process - this is not considered a defect and is not considered out of uniform compliance. Blemishes do not affect the performance, wear, durability of an item. We cannot accept returns and exchanges for these reasons.
Normal wear and tear, damage caused by accident or use, improper care, negligence or the natural breakdown of colors and materials over time is not considered a manufacturer defect.
- While all of our manufacturers make quality products, sometimes they do make mistakes. If your item is defective, please do not send the item directly to the manufacturer unless otherwise directed - you should contact our staff at 877-363-2626 first.
- Once we receive your item back in our warehouse, we and the manufacturer will evaluate the item in question. If the manufacturer and US Patriot determine the item is not defective, we will have to charge the customer for the original shipping (if Free Shipping was taken), the cost of the return shipping to our warehouse and the cost to ship the gear back to you.
- For items we deem to be defective, EOD Gear and the manufacturer will replace the item with the exact same model and size. Changes in model, manufacturer, size or color will not be allowed.
